The Kiss

My mouth blooms like a cut.

I've been wronged all year, tediousnights, nothing but rough elbows in themand delicate boxes of Kleenex calling crybabycrybaby , you fool !

Before today my body was useless.

Now it's tearing at its square corners.

It's tearing old Mary's garments off, knot by knotand see — Now it's shot full of these electric bolts.

Zing!

A resurrection!

Once it was a boat, quite woodenand with no business, no salt water under itand in need of some paint.

It was no morethan a group of boards.

But you hoisted her, rigged her.

She's been elected.

My nerves are turned on.

I hear them likemusical instruments.

Where there was silencethe drums, the strings are incurably playing.

You did this.

Pure genius at work.

Darling, the composer has steppedinto fire.
