if six were nine

if we were action figures

in an embrace



. . .if plastic could kiss



if it was us

the heat

might bend



and the action figures

would be naked



if we were pumpkins

my vines would be

all over you



and i would smile like

a carved halloween



and blue birds would

flutter over your garden



if six were nine

and i was with you

i would kiss you from

piggies to dark



from a smile to pretty moles



connecting freckles

with sultry numbers



and i would know you

inside and beyond
