I'll not lift your mouth <br />from these trembling breasts <br />because they welcome that warm touch <br />brushing moisturizings <br />melding need and baby <br />sucklings. <br /> <br />I'll not move away from <br />your mouth's insistings <br />because that mouth makes <br />me feel needed <br />and loved <br />even taken. <br /> <br />You and I have this between us <br />life began at these breasts <br />and they are forever lodged <br />in our sucking memories <br />No, keep our mouth there <br />because it is life's reunion <br />where the circle is rounded <br />closing.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rounding-circles/
