The Last One

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.
