:an ocean of saliva:

A Poem by bellyvankelly

she taste’d like da echo of

ah dead star

or of ah
coil’d ray of sunlight
lost n sum blk basement

her sand bluff was of no concern
for my pledge to bring her
a million kisses of true luv

‘eye will kiss every inch of yo body’

one hour n
she done lost her mind gigglin’
eye done lost all my saliva
ah mist-size smatterin’
of saliva remain’d
an so eye call’d fo ah intermission

to git ah glass of water
outside her
ocean blue paint’d room

askin’ fo dis intermission doh
da words came faintly
like ah purposely forgotten memory
left untought of

but eye knew eye had hundreds
of kisses to go

ah half an hour later…
eye recall’d da memory of dehydration
an call’d fo another break
like eye was caught up n luv
n thought of no thought unthought of

she sat up from da bed like nosferatu
olekay
olekay
olekay
dats enuff
eye sat up too
watcha mean
u made yo point

her moonhalo eyes hover’d
before me like her impossible beauty
eye couldn’t sea nothin’ n dat dark
ocean blue room
but
her halos or were day blk holes
blk holes dat eye knew lead to me
but would eye surface thru dohs halos
ever ahgain?
or
ahgain?
or
neva ever ahgain?

eye took ah’nother sip of water like ah sot, swain or swine
and lean’d n an
to her glow
start’d to make out
wit her like my lips neva touch’d her before

(she pull’d away…)

wat u need ah break from kissin me to kiss me?
yes
an
wat…u gonna wanna make luv after dis…
yes…coz eye luv u…
an wat u gonna wanna take ah break from makin luv to…
yes make luv…
eye’m cover’d n yo saliva
an ocean of it
it felt strange an feels strange…
good…jus don’t drown n it…
drown n wat an ocean of yo saliva?
yea
it did feel strange u kissin’ my eyes
yea it felt like strange planets being suck’d n by two venus flytraps
yea u felt like ah suckerfish
swimmin' about u wit kisses--tryin to drown u my luv
