       did i dream

       our kiss



       in the low

       cool

       light of morning



       scented with smoke

       from last night's fire?



       with so few words

       the taste of lips

       is more present

       than memory



       so

       have i changed

       a memory

       of warm

       smiling eyes

       into

       something

       it never was?



       no

       please don't tell me



       if memory

       and fantasy

       together

       bore the succulence

       that i remember as you

       better

       i savor

       my dream

       of your lips

       than never

       to have tasted them

       at all.
