Nucleus of a Kiss

"Putting my toe in the water with a steamy poem about kissing."

Literally, yes, literally a connection,
Sharing moisture, heat, movement,
That is at its best a kind of improvisation motion jazz,
The most sensitive parts of the body linked together,
And at both ends it feels like you’re plugged into some kind of
Primal power source,
Part of a circuit,
Breathing synchronizing,
And the dance of tongue and teeth and lips,
Sinuous and all raw emotion,
Breathing life into each other
In sweet low breaths
And for a short time,
That space between your faces is the
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
