We didnโt deny the obvious, but we didnโt entirely accept it either. I mean, we said hello to it each morning in the foyer. We patted its little head as it made a mess in the backyard, but we never nurtured it. Many nights the obvious showed up at our bedroom door, in its pajamas, unable to sleep, in need of a hug, and we just stared at it like an Armenian, or even worseโ hid beneath the covers and pretended not to hear its tiny sobs.
Jeffrey McDanielBut one kiss levitates above all the others. The intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss. The Iโll love you through a brick wall kiss. Even when Iโm dead, Iโll swim through the Earth, like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.
