an eight mile arch

i send you poems

across the state

via the mail



figurative kisses and

literal pretence



but I don't know

your kiss



the real smackaroo

contained in the charm

and geometry of your lips



and sometimes i think that is better



to dream of journeys

into your intimate mail slot

not knowing the hunger

and appetite of your mouth



allowing your kiss to exist

as an uncharted story

spinning on the horizon

framed by a sextant

in mythical proportions



without being encumbered

by what your lips will

or will not do around me
