since feeling is first,
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you.
wholly to be a fool
while spring is in the world.
my blood approves
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.
lady, i swear by all the flowers. don't cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids flutter which says
we are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms,
for life's not a paragraph.
and death, i think is no parenthesis.
