Post-Embrace
by Joanne Marisa Leow
i kissed you back
(well not after but during?)
because i wanted to taste and touch
fill these other senses
with memories of you
because things happened as quickly
asyourheartwasbeating
because of the way you whispered
wrong
barely breathing
that this would not make a difference
and because in our poetry
(and when I'm with you)
words seem to run intoeachother
(they run together)
becoming useless.
