The mystery
of longing and need --
the story of a young boy
who kissed a fairy,
she, the beautiful,
light sparkle, gold soul,
raspberry lipped.
She had told him,
"One kiss will
drive you insane."
But what a kiss it was,
the marriage of the sweetest softness,
and the most unbearable burning --
I take the bait,
take the bit,
bite in deep,
rest in it,
and then
find myself
falling gut-first
to the ground.
My weight heaves me,
my breath leaves me,
I am empty of everything, of any longing, any longer.
And there is only the realization –
that fairy was preaching some kind of Gospel
and that I am the willing sacrifice
on the cross of my own foolishness and desire.
(but what a kiss it was)
