For the gap when you’re kissing
in your head,
when your breath holds its hiccups
at the closeness of the happening
for the few degrees of incline
the advance of the arch
the arpeggio of answers
you didn’t know you asked for.
To the last thing you looked at
before they leaned in;
lamplight, car park, wineglass,
train seat, kitchen, carpet.
To all the kisses you took and didn’t talk of
each one left a little art.

Great stuff. maybe the first word should be 'from', not 'for'? 'from the... to the... each one left a little art'? I dunno. The atmosphere you create is lovely anyway. xx

"the arpeggio of answers

Provides food for thought that's for sure!
