Kiss my frowning ****
face
and place your tongue in my
mouth
spin it around enough times
to replicate how many times
I thought of you today (continuously)
If I get to kiss you again
I’ll make sure you taste me like
raspberries (sour and sweet)
If I get to see you again
I’ll make sure you see me like
full moon (dark and light)
If I get to speak to you again
I’ll make sure you hear me like
mercury (silver and maddening)

and I’ll trade my whole ocean
for the slow waves of your quiet skin
against mine.
