MOMENT, by                    
First Line: Full-cupped a thousand beats
Last Line: Kissing her throat.
Subject(s): Kisses; Lips


Full-cupped a thousand beats
lay roundly pounding in his palms;
their lips four flames a-sting
with bee-stung frailty they clung . . .
their flesh lay singing
as the bamboo bended-humming trembles.
she of the she-est sank into a wilderness
while he of the heat sang: "Peace, O beautiful,"
kissing her throat.
