what are they anyway
what good have these words brought
except to bring such sweet torture
honey drips from my womb
deliverance is silky as each syllable
should slip across your tongue
and redress my unworshipped altar
I ask you; what you have engraved
upon with piercing eyes
a color once unknown soaking deep
into my bloodstream
in this you have shaken me
should you come awaken my lips
if ever they fall silently
these hours of knitted words
tethered and bound to my soul
will settle in your marrow
and wonder no longer
of missing home

This is smoking good. Holy cow this is phenomenal writing. One of your best. I liked a lot but I loved:
“honey drips from my womb
deliverance is silky as each syllable
should slip across your tongue
and redress my unworshipped altar”
Wow
