Mouth: To Say

Lisa Ampleman

To say a word, we put it in our mouths.

It may roll between the teeth

or hum on the palate（味觉，上颚）. Love, after all, starts

on tongue against teeth and ends on lips.

To communicate once meant to take communion.

I take the wafer（薄饼） into my mouth:

speech. Silence as it melts on my tongue.

Your speaking hums in your chest

when my ear is to it. There's a wasp¹ nest

under my porch². They fly home at dusk,

but you know how to suss them out.

And in my kitchen, plaster³ cracks on

one discolored wall. Is it water damage?

Is the house settling? You put your hand

on my wall, say It doesn't look like water --

(water, which begins on pursed lips).

The cracked pipe in the wall seals up.

The glass of water we share is cold.

You kiss my mouth, which tastes like your mouth.
