"They are kissing,
long, deep, spacious kisses, exploring
the silence of the tongue, the mute
rungs of the upper palate, hungry
for the living flesh."
— Dorrianne Laux (Kissing)
"I swear your love
would raise me
out of my grave,
in my flesh and blood,
—————————-
like Lazarus;
hungry for this,
and this, and this,
your living kiss."
— Carol Ann Duffy (If I Was Dead, Rapture)
