Thoughts on a Kissing Picture
I’m the one in the picture
that looks like a slightly romantic
version of anti-romantic everything,
pausing awkwardly to take a snapshot
of our smooching.
I raised my cell phone above our tangled heads
with my finger on the shutter button
and quickly snapped the photo,
smacking the moment with a mack truck flash.
Because if I didn’t, the memory of your mouth
would slip off of my tongue much too easily.
So I freeze-framed the moment as my lips smooshed
like putty between the oceanic part of yours,
and my caterpillar eyebrows were caught mid-action
reaching from my forehead to tickle your face.
You were captured clumsy beautiful,
with smirking half-moon dimples,
your hair: a shuffled deck of cards,
and one eye partially opened,
accepting the temporary blindness
like a flattered deer in headlights.
