The ants of his sideburn hair crept across his cheek, seeking
The ants of passion crawl on my cheek
the honey of saliva to quench what had flared up.
Seeking a trace of saliva to quench what burns inside

They had been walking straight along his cheek;
They used to walk straight on my cheek
when they saw fire in his cheeks, they turned aside.
Ever since they saw the fire raging in my cheeks
