Remember
The point of entry
Acknowledgment of equal wanting
The center
The point of departure
It speaks millions of words
It's sound a universal call
A space holder - timekeeper
A point of reference for all eternity
It can mark a beginning with no end
Or it can end at it's beginning
Pairs of lips pressing
The veil lifting
Longed for like hunger
Thirst quenched upon contact
Its power forgot if left undone for too long
It is not sex but can be sensual
Especially when consensual
A stolen one can break your heart wide-open
Like an electrical shock
POP!
You are in the present
Held to the moment
The wonder of it all
For those who happen upon one
Shy upon first sighting
A voyeur in that stolen glance
Passing over eyes upon lips pressing
Memory unraveled
The witness filed with the echo of remembrance
The first last kiss
Last Kiss, a reimagining of William Frederking dance photography from 1997.
