BY KEMRY FARTHING.


​You’re learning how to give me a name
sound it out
remove toes from mouth
bottom lip folds in

The sound takes the shape of your cheeks
soft at me
round it out
sounds in repetition
Just like you rolling from hip to hip

It makes its way out
and you look to me
​
You’ve never been more right
