LIKE BRIGHT SPRINGS

A BOY AND THE KISSING OF A GIRL IN 1962.

John felt hot
Elaine had
seemed at ease

being there
on the field
at high school

he tried not
to bore her
with his talk

of bird's eggs
or local
butterflies

that last kiss
suddenly
had shook her

upset her
just a kiss
no hidden

agenda
not wanting
anything

more than that
just the kiss
to express

deeper things
like bird song
and bright springs.
