well …

well …


i am tiptoeing backwards 

  through your poem

afraid of falling again 

  onto the damp grass

of rolling down the hillside

fingertip out-of-reach kisses


  can we 


play the record again 


      ~ resume ~


or is it scratched

stuck in the grove


  like me


the needle is sharper now

the blood is slower

sleep longer


       can we see


a sky bluer

seas longer

sunnier

flowers more flowery

grasses more grassy 

smiles longer and longer

evenings slower


            and kisses


ah yes

   those kisses …
