Vintage Sherry: (A)Symmetrical

I return you a smile
Underneath rock lips blue sea

I return you a hug
Underneath clay arms gray iron

I return you a shake
Underneath leprosy hands green mold

I return you a pat
Underneath icicle hands white marble

I return you a wink
Underneath flame eyes red blaze

I return you a word
Underneath a soot tongue black ash
