Backward

There are days
Your affection
Sounds like:
uoy evol I

And I can’t decide
If it’s coming from
The tip of your tongue
Or the depths of my ears

    This absolutely made me smile. Oh the ways of love… Is it us or is it the other person? Perhaps it is both.

    I always love the unique techniques you use! This one’s very cool. Perhaps it comes from both the tip of the other’s tongue and the depths of your ears, that’s the best kind! Have a nice Sunday!

    What a reflective piece.

    As it happens, the depths of my own ears have been screaming a few things at me of late and, as irritating as it gets, I know they have a point.
