                                            I Want To Kiss You 

                                   I want to kiss you everywhere you have skin
                                   Fondle your hands, treat my nose to your hair
                                   Provide for your eyes.
                                   I am a good dog with fast muscles.
                                   I am mad for your vegetables.
                                   When fields of oats sway
                                   I will think of you.
                                   When big cats scour their jungle throats
                                   I will find you answering.
                                   When others look away
                                   You will understand.
                                   Catch me. Those fingers are houses
                                   Glaciers, fishes, planets
                                   Happy ends of arms, neck, breasts
                                   Thighs I am kissing
                                   I am kissing.
