AN OPEN MOUTH

Unnerving,

As with an open mouth breathing down my neck,

Eager to speak,

Just open, mouthing frantically,

Causing my stomach to contract

In an effort to make me vaguely visible.

 

So I remained,

Aware of the defiance,

Tempted to make myself loosely present, as I do,

But I remained,

Convinced it was the gutsiest thing to do,

Or was it?

 

I noticed I was facing it sideways,

Afraid of its influence,

It… motioning away, with its unchaste gums and crouching tongue.

I knew it was staring at me

When my breasts performed a nakedness I never knew before,

And so I persuaded myself I was being audacious.

 

I was there, standing,

Sideways, granted… but never mind that!

I was letting myself stay, simply…

Or was I?

It vanished abruptly, disappointed even.

I lingered, uneasy, with an arm slightly raised.
