Janette Hoppe #18 Waha//Mouth

waha//mouth
imagining Frida...

Diego on my mind
giving mouth to this
the lies, the pain,
all lip service in the end

the way his lips curve down at each end
the strange sensation of a half-baked smile

dark -
    metaphorically
and literally
a strained smile
half-baked happiness sticky taped together

his dreams
a debt of responsibility
