A KISS Suzette Magri (Feb. 2007) Gasping air with every swallow the suspended self hovers just above the frame – watching every moment – patiently for the next notion. Another kiss Warm orange arms of the faithful wrap and surround the sky offering comfort. What is important? A clear sheet of transparent colour lies on the table under the voices of the present. I can see all the parts at once? Clutching to a momentary reality He yells SMILE! I want to take your picture. A frame surrounds each image. Burned into a reel of 8 mm film. It’s a Girl! It’s a Boy! Another kiss to the softness of your cheek. Warm lips return affection; a young Adam’s apple goes up, then down with each swallow. An occasion for a gift attainted by belief. Sweet warm breath hits my face. I close my eyes and imprint the moment from a tiny press of a kiss.
