When She Opens Her Mouth Poem by Ravi Kopra

When She Opens Her Mouth

Rating: 2.0


When she opens her mouth
the encyclopedias of the world fauna and flora
glaciers, seas, lakes, rivers, mountains, rivulets
tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, storms, winds
aeroplanes, trains, satellites, rockets, spaceships
God, creation, heart, soul, mind and everything
in the universe never stop popping out.
And I ask her gently: darling, what's all this?
I simply asked if you'd like to go for a picnick
in the park, to go to the beach for sea breeze
or just stay in all Sunday in bed like on a honeymoon.
She is my love. The whole world swirls on her tongue-tip.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Voice of God
by Crystal Williams

Poem for Aretha Franklin


when she opens her mouth
our world swells like dawn on the pond
when the sun licks the water & the jay garbles,
the whole quiet thing coming into tune,
the gnats, frogs, the dandelion pollen, the
pebbles & leaves & the whole world of us
sitting at the throat of the jay
dancing in the throat of the jay
all of us on the lip of the jay
singing doowop, doowop, do.
