Free verse № 142954
Before Dinner
The pestle is bone.
The whisk, fingers.
Balustrades tremble to my touch.
The morter is flesh.
Each dancing spot of flour
Dusts your skin,
Flutters with your breath
Steps buckle and sway.
My voice, a stifled burst.
The pin turns a swathe.
The cup, sweet lips.
Smoke churns as I enter.
The breadth extends.
I hesitate, pierce the doorway.

BTW, "mortar", not "morter".
