Will You Wear An Earring


Will you wear an earring 

for me

clasp it to your flesh

never mind the bruise

never mind the pain.

Will you wear this earring

and give me a lip-sticky kiss.


Will you wear my earring

make a little hole 

in your skin

in your ear

pierce it

then 

carefully thread it through

and give me a lip-sticky kiss

then let me see

the writings 

and pictures

on your skin.


Will you wear this earring 

or will you keep you keep your skin

pristine

clear as a baby’s 

unpierced

unbruised

unblemished

aged like fine wine

naturally.
