Silence gives way
to round little vowels
that ooze from your lips
like sweet ripened fruit
at the touch of my hand.
A slow string of ohs
owned by ghosts
filling the air
with the heaviness of petrified music
long after spoken.
Voice pearls.
The laws of everything
fail in lovemaking.
My ears can see your face
by the tone of your ohs.
My eyes can taste the burning flesh
by the position of your legs,
and my hand can hear the rapid beating
of your heart as it slides down your chest.
