Who Was I to Say Who Was I to Choose


I kissed the one who most
needed kissing-----the one with five

shades of eyeshadow
-----he who
was almost she
-----or was he
bruised
----- How deep was I
buried in the kiss
----- under
the many shades closing

on the eyes
-----Soul-kiss
a girl would say
-----not yet
knowing who
----- nor what's
made up
----- or how hard-earned
a hard-pressed goodbye
goes
-----between----- the locked
vault of lips
