Are those small black marks
So carelessly scrawled
Supposed to represent
Moments of perfection?
When you wrote this line of Xs
Was it habit after all this time?
Are your written kisses brief and dry
Like old married couples' greetings?
Or are they teasing and full of promise
Tantalising marks to make me shiver
And long and yearn for you?
Are your written kisses desperate
Frustrated at our distance,
Possessive, rough, consuming?
Or do you write them smiling
A line of passionate crosses
Deep and everlasting with
Thoughts of whispers and touches?
Written kisses, a line of marks on paper
Crosses, black, pathetic impostors
Of those perfect moments we share.
