the tang of lemons
there’s sourness in my mouth
but my heart is full of sweet feelings for you
i’m making acrid faces,
lips pursed together
my tongue touching an upper palate
itching for a sound, a smack !
you’re looking at me funny
confused, you mistake the tang of lemons for bitter disapproval !
you miss the pangs of longing
my heart is feeling for you ...
oh lemons, what have you done ?
