3:17 AM EST Head and Heart Over Heels
Now you've gone and done it---
sent me reeling
spinning
ass over tea kettle
and I am punchy
grinning
grand
and all I can think of
is the taste of your kiss
under a canopy of desert stars
too many to name or count
but I see every one of them
shining in your eyes
gleaming like a the secret
an old woman hugs to herself
when some sweet young thing
acts like she invented love,
and never suspects
that someone else perfected it.
