(for david) these kisses are clandestine no one can see them i hold them in my hand shd i be discovered/ i stick them in my hair & my head gets hot so i haveta excuse myself under no circumstances can the legs that slip over my hips leave tellin marks/ scents of love/ this wd be unpardonable so i am all the time rubbin my arms/ exposing myself to river mists/ to mask the sweetness you leave me swillin in i cant allow you to look at me how you do so i am naked & wantin to be explored like a honeysuckle patch when you look at me how you do so i am all lips & thigh/ my cover is blown & the kisses run free/ only to hover sulkin over yr cheek/ while i pretend they are not mine cuz its happenin/ but you dont know abt it this kisses they take a slow blues walk back to me in the palm of my hand they spread out/ scratch kick curse & punch til my skin cries/ kisses raisin hell/ in my fists/ they fly out mad & eager theyโ€™ll fly out mad & eager if you look at me how you do so i am naked & wantin/ if you look at me how you do so i am all lips & thigh/ they gonna fly out mad & eager they fly out & climb on you the kisses/ they flyin if you look at me how you do so
