Mark Goad


Mark Goad
 
Kiss
 
The velvet lake skin shone darkly at dawn
and if you cared to brush your fingers
along its surface you
would have felt
 
its cold resistance melt
against your skin
and perhaps
 
an unwise young bass would have risen
to nip your little finger, shy,
 
a kiss, surprising you both.
