to give a Kiss

Missing image


Two invisible excuses for lips
Brandish this travesty of a face of mine.
What a disheartening position to be in
When the only form of kiss that is to be feasible
Is the kind that one can only receive...

But what if one could devise a way
To give a kiss by some other means?
What if there was a way to paint without a paintbrush?
Could colors merely appear where no others reside?
Is it only from beauty that other beauty can be instilled?

What is it that makes a kiss, a kiss?
The touch?
The warmth?
The texture?
The imprint?

How can I possi—


—You reached your boney excuse for a hand
Over to plug the floodgate in my face.
Your fingers kissed my cheek
And rippled a dimple beneath them
Like a leaf to a pond.
