the kiss lasts forever
if you refuse to stop kissing the ocean goes on forever if the horizon spites your certainty the trees go all the way down and up speak sky raise your face call the sun I’m holding out my hands for more power is knowing it’s thin ice everywhere stomp your foot stomp both feet take hold of your drowning don’t be a victim of death don’t look for me in the house of eternal sorrow knitting plastic pessimism I’m walking river-ward over glass broken bloodied as berries the promised land doesn’t need these sorry feet when wild thoughts lift me like air the cut banks and point bars the leaning willows the humming frogs all have the same song whatever helps you to reach in the sea whatever breakage the dam takes heart I am strong in your maroon shadow I refuse to kneel to no woman but you and no man but myself.
