This Short Life
I’ll hold your face
and teach you how to kiss
again.
Not those drive-by pecks
that you give your grandmother.
No apple-bob
avoidance of something deep
and wet.
I’m talking
two hands wound through hair
get to work
close your eyes
let your mouth go soft
so it can have more surface
to feel what’s going on
Tasting deeply of the
sweet wet cave-
a really mean it
kind of
last chance
show you how i feel
kissing.
There’s no time for less.
You need to get this
right now-
before there is no more
feeling it
in this short life.
