The nicest metaphor for kissing I've heard so far. by Esteis 2007-04-26 10:58:59

II. HER HAIR

Her hair
is a tent
  held down by two pegs—
  ears, very likely—
where two gypsies—
  lips, dull folk call them—
read your soul away:
one promising something,
the other stealing it.
  If the pegs would let go—
  why is it they’re hidden?—
and the tent
  blow away—drop away—
like a wig—or a nest—
  maybe
you’d escape
paying coin
to gypsies—
  maybe—
