Ella Wheeler Wicox-Loves Language
How does love speak?
In the fait flush of a telltale cheek
its hush can touch a slight of hand.
Stands still in feet of sinking sand
Despite the light that's only found
on nights when oceans surely drown.
It tumbles out in foreign tonuges
a song and all that's owed is paid
with words that once had time to play.
And if all silence comes to fall
a seated bond were no voice calls
then what of love should poets speak
If not of flushed past telltale cheeks.

If your undies fer you've been smoking through em, don't peg em out
