thank you
for kissing me in the elevator last night.
two strangers passing as ships
different floors…
different mores…
over your shoulder
reaching to press
your scent: fragrant
lips vagrantly brushing
eyes searching
cheeks flushing/blushing
lips meeting fully
no greeting exchanged.
i didn’t even catch your name!
