One Stolen Kiss

The world cracked open
granite crumbled and shook
dawn spilled violet,
orange across the eastern sky
ocean waves rushed hard,
fast and high
as the blood rising
in my latent veins.
The Fourth of July's got
nothing on the spectacle of light
that flashed against
my closed eyes
and the miracle
of sensation opened up
in me again
when I supposed it had gone forever.
All of this
in one sudden, stolen kiss.
