Mouths

—after “Tiger Lily and the Lost Boys” by Susan Gallagher


I.
 tiger
 lilies, stamened
 and pistiled, lush, stretching
 to meet touch, exuberantly
 open

 II.
 spotted
 petals beguile—
fiery tiger tongues curl
 and lick, textured like satiny
 kisses

 III.
 mouths of
 the earth, tiger
 lilies promising to
 make love with rough, rasping tongues of

 orange
