the kiss

They kiss with warm, soft, moist lips.

It starts in the small of the back. There. A subtle tingling

rising up the spine. It turns into a deep warmth: marrow

turning into a heated liquid. The stars are shining with a

brilliance never seen before. Flocks of birds take to the

skies in unprecedented numbers. Every earthquake monitor

registers a ten on the Richter scale. There is no noise,

but every cat and dog hears it. Babies awake and leaves

fall from the trees. There are hurricanes, tidal waves,

avalanches and lightning. The Earth’s magnetic poles

reverse. Gorillas beat their chests and lions roar in the

savannah. Corks pop and flames grow higher and higher.

Ice caps melt and comets explode. New galaxies are

formed and the air sizzles with electrons. DNA adapts

itself into new species and the Beginning & End of Time

end and begin simultaneously.

History unfolds and the Future happens all at once.

All that, in that one moment, that one kiss.
