A Day in the Life of a Mouth

Part I:

Lips were stained violet with malbec,
tongue was bruised with honesty.
Teeth were chewing on grave words,
mouth was tired of standing up for itself.

--------------------------------------------------

Part II:

Breath was screaming with silence,
voice was strategically muted.
Smile offered an unspoken lie of agreement,
chin squared by clenched jaw.

-------------------------------------------------

Part III:

Emotional eruption of speech,
pouring out with the blunt force of truth.
