You Almost Bathed Your Tongue
Monday, December 03, 2012
She flattens - then she crawls -
She runs without the look of feet -
Her eyes increase to Balls –
Her Jaws stir - twitching - hungry -
Her Teeth can hardly stand -
She leaps, but Robin leaped the first -
Ah, Pussy, of the Sand,
The Hopes so juicy ripening -
You almost bathed your Tongue -
When Bliss disclosed a hundred Toes -
And fled with every one -
Emily Dickinson
