Your upper lip is love
your lower lip is deep death
they both devour me

Interesting. There's something to that.

I love it!
"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
This makes me "Hmmm." I cannot decide if I love it or hate it. Perhaps that's the point.....
love it. I give it a high brow and a low brow wink!
I thought it was going to be a poem about sticking your tongue out at someone.
I don't know if I like the use of "deep death", I think you could have used something different and profoundly increased the emotional effect, but the simplicity and wonder that you have captured in this poem is something to admire and I love how you've accomplished that! Fantastic work

There's something so melodramatically wonderful about that "deep death" that it makes the poem for me.
