your lips look like there's something on them

what is on your lips?
are they crystals?
sunshine honeymilk?
soft pebbles colored
aquamarine?
i need to know.
a sprig of mint?
a bushel of bananas?
it's okay if it's onions/
asparagus/someone
else's kiss.
the particulars don't really matter.
i've grown numb to flavors.
i think you have
a hundred forgotten nights of love
on your lips.
