tender lips
\nthat had forgotten, momentarily,
\nthe taste of mother\u2019s milk and
\ncouldn\u2019t tell the silence of the womb
\nfrom the darkness of sins
\nknelt, panting,
\nto sooth with their tender warmth
\nthe spineless erection of an old man.<\/p>\n
to believe that
\nthe sweat, stink and grime
\nwere not its own
\nthe tender body washed all day
\nthe hollows of its mind
\nin the bathroom.<\/p>\n
eyes
\nthat struggled to forget
\nin the privacy of night
\nthe desires of day
\nwere wetting the pillows
\nwith tears of unripe dreams.<\/p>\n
