Kissing You



Kissing You

Later it’s not
not just once
but a hundred
thousand times—

and countless in
that hundred
thousand…a
thousand

plus one—but first
it was  
between almost
and happening, still
arriving at   
One.
Cliffs give way
beneath petites,

our twin splints
of lips quiver
above one another,
as though they
are on their own
without us
and it’s breath’s

hush that pulls
our pushes—
there’s no way
getting ‘round it—

we can’t leave
off, we press
into the firth,
on a slim

kayak of wind
and…today is
a slow, slow
day…there’s rain

a touch of frost
thawing

in each drop
