Unspoken French

Close your eyes and feel me

as your imagination fades from 

reach.

Surrender to my touch,

and hold it through the bite of

Let your tongue salivate

Let the submersion take hold of 

your speech,

and be hushed for the moment.

Once you catch your breath

say what reveals your french.

Loll with me in your presence—
