Mulberry Lips
for A.G.M.W.

what berry is this
that your mouth is full of

what berry is this
that is made of your lips

is it offered to me
or it's offered to the world

I can tell how sweet it is
to suck or chew or swallow whole

after this though
are there others

I am certain I'd want many more
though I am intoxicated
by the thought of what is offered

how sweet and pretty
you are, Année
what a daring girl

you creative artist
with your enticing kiss

you metaphor
you poem

more excited by your "Kiss"
than I am by "The Kiss"
of Auguste Rodin
