Linguaglossa

lyrics

Linguaglossa
Lavatongue licks me down from aeroacrophobia

Why am I
shy of the sky?

At Etna’s breastbone,
il fico d’India pricks me with an analgesic
Tricks me to believing I’m at ease
Igniting my hand synapses to seize it

Like a captive sow who mouths her cage, to furrow in the earth somehow

Linguaglossa
Lavatongue licks me down from aeroacrophobia

Swung down the tongue to its tip which is tasting the sea
Turning the fruit, a door opens for you and for me
Elevator, metal piercing to our swimming space,
barely an inhalation bigger than our embrace
and only a few kisses long to endure the descent
My tongue is unable to move, and it’s less than I meant

Why am I
shy of the sky?
