Which way do you read – up or down
How do you smile, like this or …
Kiss is universal, yes? Or do you vary
your pucker slightly

I will kiss your face
while you try not to giggle.
Who’s game?
Chagall 2015
New Year’s Eve, I will kiss her at midnight
lips in transition – a reckoning
at the passing between two worlds
and so two times I will kiss her
though I’d be happy with any Wednesday
in May just as well.

My mouth probes yours
soft, dry daubs
pulls on Cupid’s Bow
the slow release
of the lower lip
a flue for fires
burned in softer centers

As I near your cheek
the world fades away
you loom larger there
before me
like a rock to be scaled
too steep it seems
for sure footing
if lips could walk
I close my eyes
whisper a prayer
and hurl myself off
from the ledge
