Your tongue strikes against my teeth
I utter “O”
Where you break in
Fluxing
Transfusing cartilages into my joints
You give me acts
And visceral satisfaction
I breathe in an air of turbulent sweat
You give me phrasal verbs
You give me life
You give me something I cannot digest
You taste like “Australia”
