I map him with my mouth

On knowing what enters my body.

I don’t just take him in my mouth.

I map him.

I feel every ridge,
every vein,
every place he's soft or firm.

With my lips.
With my tongue.
With the roof of my mouth.

I don't perform or please
even if it pleases him.

I map him like Braille.
