this is not a poem about mouths--or teeth
or the holes that bore their way into teeth
or about how the mouth is a hole that leads
inside.
it is about planting dry wood and waiting
for it to sprout, to take root, to circle down
to the center and find something like a
moon,
like a lilac as full as your belly, as violet
as veins on your thighs.
