Kissing Each Other’s Lips Bye
Spread the words
On the wings of Aeon
Cuddle the skin
Aglow with the sun
When the tip of the spear
Is my kith and kin
When the winds
Play with my fears
When my ears
Stir to your cooing
When I see your face
In the bottom of the plate
When your mute lips
Speak a thousand words
When the forgotten echoes
Quicken my footsteps

Fall on the fragrance of your breath
Across the depths of the years
We held our tiny fingers
Fishing for whales in the desert
Where the dunes top the roof
Over the remains of our history
You
And
I
Struggling to once again
Kiss each other’s lips.
