2. Read a Little Poetry.
forgive me for the parts of you i’m yet to kiss
Ifeanyi Ogbo
i used to think there was only one part of
the body meant for kisses,
but on your body I discovered a thousand places.
you were born naked so I could clothe you with kisses,
my lips were made to adorn every inch of
the landscape of your skin.
kisses on places you’ll never want your mother
to read about,
sinful actions too holy for confession.
and when we finally merge into one
my body memorizing every part of yours
i discover there are ways to visit heaven without dying.

(It's gonna take a minute to get there, and I'm looking forward to when I do...)
