Between the First


"the kiss" by Veronica Jackson


between the first

between the first
impression
and the second,
third,
next
kiss, when anything
can be anything,
we lean into each
breath, pressing
time a little too
tightly
as always;
as always,
time loosens its
jaws, exhales and
stretches the moment
in full suspense
like the world’s
greatest bubblegum
bubble blower
savoring the sweet
taste of your
pink mouth
.
