Dock sitting
past midnight
parental drone
humming in distance
Two silhouettes
haloed in moonlight
I lean in, heart pounding
your lips brush my forehead
Nothing more…
Nevermind! I blurt
scrambling to leave
rejection a soul tattoo
(Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson.
Image my own. Care to join me and write about your first kiss?
Drop me a link so I don’t miss it.)
Exceptional: “rejection a soul tattoo”!

Suzy, one Friday night after the band had played at the pub and I was dropping her home, a scorcher.

Perfect depiction of the first kiss! Mine was in the first grade; it was a kiss-and-run. (I’m talking about you, Gary DeFeo.)
