I think kissing
is the easiest way
to get to know someone.

The insides of their lips have hold
of every word they have ever said,
or ever will say.

And doesn’t that say more
than a hand shake or a hug?

The pressing of my heart
to yours
is more like feeling
of the weight
you surround in me.

Your thoughts
on the other hand,
can’t be held
by my hand at all.

The insincerity of a hand
can only be told
by the doors it holds open
and doors it slams shut.
