Kiss

Reddening lips purely to further our native instinct toward love

Embrace, long kissing in a rilled garden

A single snake hissing

Full of venom like I’m young again

Ink floods vellum

What malevolent credo urged one to threaten with soup art

Which to nation’s whole belongs

Incredulous, I cannot answer all the questions I ask

Which darken like a cancer on a doctor’s chart

All heart’s gladness, what end times madness arises in us now

Chants, hooded acolytes stamping around banned book burnings

Toecurling visions of ant wisdom

The end of division through the end of history

The end of mystery.
