ode to my lover
kiss me kiss me like the blue- fur blanket that swirls around my toes
this comfortable warmth of
familiar in this tuesday night that
kisses me kisses me
on the brow of my sweaty forehead
this school night without the cut of a certain letter that
kisses me kiss me
with the dread of the days to come a
song to the here and now but also the
future
future
future
kisses me kiss me like i can be desired
by something
someone but now it is
you and our favorite sitcom
and then it will somebody else’s sitcom and somebody else’s deadline
and i will kiss you kiss you
through the lens of memory that hasn’t formed yet
through the me that doesn’t exist
yet
and now kiss me kiss me like it’s second nature like something causal
so i’ll forget what i am thinking
and be brought back to
this still
ordinary night with my
hand held in yours
