these lips
brought realms 
landscapes of intimate
Silence

Spice that warms
like stickey clothes
melted by the rain
on mellow evening 

Sweet cane
That fell off the
Back of a truck

In the swamp
Next to parades
Bead smiles

My kiss 
It would seem
Brought our world
To its knees

Or maybe
Caused irreparable 
Damage to the
Ozone

Caused you
Left you 

Us
lonely 
As we were
Before
