I’m shadow puppeteering
our next kissing contest,
funded by the grant
of your lower lip.
My hands collect your back
like taxes. I want more fingers,
toes, freckles as abacuses
to count your return.
Your mouth auto corrects
my body language. Your voice
hangs like streamers. I walk
like cursive.
Great poem, Jesse! Thanks for posting, Thunderclap!
