No

My tongue

reaches upward

embracing

this buccal cavity

Then slides forward

resonating 

that -N sound

within me


She

pushes through

to pouted lips

of cycles

recycles

and epicycles

Of well rounded - O

Then pulls backward

For emphasis


It is the way

He expands his letters

before my eyes

So boldly

to intimidate me

like an invisible wall

whitewashed

with tears

graffitied prayers


You block me

until your

NO

Is all I see
