Cornered in a Kiss

There is a summit
in your letters, a peak
of precision, a little-held
truth, difficult to reach.

The center
is a shadow of memory,
cornered in a kiss,
seeping through
with a might-be promise:

is it enough?

No, the capture
cannot undo you, create you,
or restrain you.  You matter
too much, then none at all--
but the breeze
grapples hold
in the orbit
of your smile,
and so
begets the chaos,
and so
summons the real.
