the flicker

i kissed the head of a sick frail cat
i kissed the head of a dead cat that i loved

i kissed the forehead of my sleeping lover
i kissed the head of a baby chick
i kissed the shell of an egg

formed and shattered in time

each born and bloomed
then changed and gone

what is this

which kisses these fragile
empty all too soon
spheres

what is this
which loves?

the kiss
the love
the leaving

everything comes and goes
the source and the destination are the same
