To celebrate National Poetry Month, The Poetry Box is sharing a Poem-of-the-Day, selected from various anthologies and individual poet collections that we have published over the years.
Please enjoy today’s selection: “Kiss, Kisses” by Judith Arcana, which appears in The Poeming Pigeon: Love Poems:
Kiss, Kisses
Kisses like warm feathers
hands on my neck, lifting my hair
fingers twist, braid through dark waves;
you bend and slide and kiss
throat, shoulders, collarbone’s
small open place there
there
Kisses whisper at my back
moan into my thighs, calling down
light from the Mars-red moon, glowing
over the lake; at the pier’s end
a swell rises, slipping bright water
up, over, to kiss skin
skin
