Kiss Away
for S.R-S.

your knowledgeable mouth
your tongue full of verbs
wonder of the vocabulary of angels

worry about love making
opening a poet's eyes

you'd deprive the world
you'd rob posterity

as good as can be
as good as candy
guarantee as many honey bees as possible
be released from the bee box

certainly there’s a shortage
have you seen the price of honey
on food store shelves
