The Kiss
There is a kiss—
I know you have received one—
so pure and unmistakable
it leaves you flushed
with a deep, unconditional love.
You can barely believe
your lips—
the moisture
from the petals of this rose
remains on your skin
and you remember
(as you linger
in the freshness of the dawn)
what we poor humans
can do
with our slender lives
when we’ve been
properly kissed.
