	did i dream

	our kiss

	

	in the low

	cool

	light of morning

	

	scented with smoke

	from last night's fire?

	

	with so few words

	the taste of lips

	is more present

	than memory

	

	so

	have i changed

	a memory

	of warm

	smiling eyes

	into

	something

	it never was?

	

	no

	please don't tell me

	

	if memory

	and fantasy

	together

	bore the succulence

	that i remember as you

	better

	i savor

	my dream

	of your lips

	than never

	to have tasted them

	at all.
