How Exactly Did She Smile?
September 28, 2016
She smiled like she was keeping a secret between her cheeks
Like her teeth would come jangling out like peals of laughter
And only the sheer power of her lips could stop them.
Her tongue curled around the unborn grin
Dimples sprung from her mouth's corners like beads of hard-won sweat
She fought to keep her laughter in her throat
And I prayed that she would fail.
