This kiss <br />dissolves Time. <br />This kiss <br />exists <br /> <br />only in & because of <br />itself. <br />This kiss! <br />This kiss! <br /> <br />Reveals us <br />to ourselves. <br />This kiss <br />is the language <br /> <br />we speak <br />speaking <br />in tongues <br /> <br />a second or an ice age <br />could have come & gone <br />for all we have <br />known. <br /> <br />This... kiss <br />makes us timeless. <br />Somewhere <br />a glacier <br /> <br />moves an erratic <br />enormous boulder <br />gently <br />(almost lovingly) <br /> <br />another half an inch <br /> <br />placing it carefully <br />in the Future <br />thousands and thousand <br /> <br />of years <br />from here.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-kiss-4/
