the alarm goes off
we trade predictions
we trade predictions
like small kisses – lightly,
ever so
lightly, nothing
too official,
anything but that

to lodge sweet
nothings,
wedge wet

and then again, there are
and then again, there are
kisses that alight on
the last defense between
you and the unknown,
perched quietly on the
fence, waiting for a
stirring that signals
an invitation. you can
look out the window
every morning all
season long, and it
will still be at the
same spot, preening

these internal attachments

peripheral snaps, buttons,

other in each other,
and we have
stopped trying
