Words like Kisses
Lips and Teeth and Tongues..
Words are simply noises
made with lips
and teeth
and tongues
like kisses
for ears untouchable
or bites
for the civilized beast.
Words tear out hearts
and soothe bitter tears,
begin religions
and destroy nations.
Sticks and stones
may break your bones
but only words
can hurt you more.
