Kristen de Kline #232 How many kisses

how many kisses
a million blown to

smithereens, another
slap on the cheek

it's all fleeting - you say
how we measure loss

and longing, five X's
on the back of a postcard

you say - it's all relative
what the hell went down

your hands,
I miss them

how many kisses does it take
how deep does it go

it hurts you know

blowing (not) in the
breeze, shadowing me

on the last mile home
stars in the skies, one

hundred lights in the bar,
waltzing: I'm not counting

what does it take

    One person's X is worth another's Four X.
