Lips is a videopoem about the visualization of lips in human body organs, daily objects and machines. A couple communicates through a webcam. The woman recites a poem in Spanish language while the translation of the poem in English appears in the screen with animated letters.

This avant garde videopoem was filmed for a Spanish television channel of left wing ideology named Tele K and took part of a program dedicated to poetry called Show de Rimas. This poem was also exhibited in EPoetry London 2013 in a poster. As a concrete poem, it had the shape of lips. The poem has also been published in the poetry book "Danza Submarina" by Maya Zalbidea Paniagua (Publisher: Huerga y Fierro 2015).
