Kisses
Mouth as treaty and trespass.
A kiss is not a brand promise. It is appetite with a shorter fuse — lips negotiating territory the mind has not authorized.
Tender can be accurate. So can hungry. The body keeps both receipts.
Connection deepens when the mouth stops performing innocence and admits what it came for.
Surrender is not always virtue. Sometimes it is the pulse choosing the wrong room and staying anyway.
The lipstick smears on the cup rim.
