After several reads I still have not the faintest idea what the first three lines mean - even in the light of the last three - which I love.
And I am unsure whether mouth is in error for most or not ot if that is what I am meant to think. Also is it really 'his' in line three. Even the written sense of the last three seems a bit wonky.
But what a powerful delicious three lines they are.
The first three lines, I admit, are a bit nonsensical. Perhaps done purposely to veil some truth or fragment of personal history. I like to tangle and twist with gender though sometimes the attempt fails; it can muddle meaning.
