Your singular laugh sounded
like too many. Your split lips
practiced a kiss they won't
remember: the way lemons
score the board before &
after cutting. Tension puckers
any parting's core. Sometimes
you flash by mirrors: tangled
hair tide-parted & I remember
seaweed, the salt of lasting,
the briny blast of love mid-air.
