Let’s kiss and nothing else.
Let’s kiss four times and let
each one enhance the other
like a mirror image in a mirror.
Once like billiards glancing.
Once like soles touching stone
on single steps of a long journey.
Once like a thumbnail over rind.
Just once how a raindrop meeting
a larger water vanishes and becomes.
