Was it a slow practice
learning to drip honey from one lip
while dripping poison from the other
Was your mouth swollen with the duplicity
ready to explode
with the life of one
and the deadly truth of the other
How do was the malice from your mouth
A rinse of rose petals and vinegar
May thorns slip through
and bleed you
from the inside out
