POETRY / How Very / Lucy Hannah Ryan

It's only ever funny if your tongue's in someone else's cheek,
Heather hooked her thumb in once,
Into the cavern of Heather's pink velvet mouth,
Just to see if she would let her.
They both let her.
Teeth squeaking against her touch, No gag and all swallow,
Just —
Fucking —
Perfect.
