Ode to my mouth
(Edgar Galeano Domínguez)


With my mouth I mention
and I call you.
That's why I love my mouth.
Because I can get your kisses
even if  loaded with struggles
of fighting tooth to tooth
tongue to tongue.
With my mouth I spit injustice
and shout freedom.
I breastfeed my mouth from your milk
and taste the honey from your hives.
For my mouth, which is a factory of weapons
and because it is loaded with bullets
I defend your beauty.
True, I'm attacked from all sides.
They come from everywhere.
They are like an army of snakes
or swarm of scorpions.
They bring the scythe of hatred
and death.
But I have my mouth that defends you.
I have my mouth to break with bites
and rip the threats.
My mouth is sometimes pliers
twisting selfishness.
But most of all
I love my mouth because it receives kisses
from your lips.
