KISSING by Dorothea Lasky

A kiss forever changes things
Forever changes the relationships between things
Spring changes me
In that it gets in
Touch me
I want to be touched
But especially by you
Loosely looked at
The black night of swine
The beckles the uttered moon
So you leave me
I don't care
Touch me
Forever change in me
The part in me
That didn't know what it was

-From Buffalo Carp Vol. 5
