Hearts like to pretend they love another
giving blood for desperate measures,
but lips like to taste the lies
that others exchange through embraces,
draining pulses of vibrations
strong enough to shake worlds.
hands like to birth oceans
giving away mosquito bites for free
but the nausea of anemic veins
carries wind whispers to shaken leaves
that pulsate mirrors through hollow seas.
but night likes to provide falsities
trailing invisible negativity into life forms
that steal skies in bulk--
directing night to seal the day
the way one mouth seals another.
