Desire Me A Kiss


A kiss has given form to desire.
It was a kiss from long ago.
As desire gives form to the present,
I shudder in fear to see the dead branches
of futures that did not grow.

Seal this envelope with another kiss,
and send it to me sometime later
so that I may remember and desire it again.
Still, there is no forgetting of the swelling
of the heart's ebb and flow.
