kiss – other animals

when you tried to kiss that star and fell haltingly down to an earth full of vole tracks and pebbles left from the unending work of burrows your mouth burnt but with the promise of new tender skin you walk on

It’s one of those days when you walk into the forest & flip over a large flat stone just for the scurry beneath your fat shadow. You have not yet unlocked the name for the feeling it produces

mid morning for a kiss taken into the wasteland on a thin horse
