KISS ME

A Climate Change Response

*****

KISS ME

IT IS NOT A REQUEST

IT IS NOT A FOREPLAY

IT’S A FOUL PLAY

BEING PLAYED TO YOU

BECAUSE YOU

DEFILED ME

YOUR EGO MIGHT NOT COMPREHEND THE TRUTH

BUT WHETHER YOUR LOGIC FAILS TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT

YOU CAME FROM ME

THE SOIL

AND DEEP BENEATH

YOU SHALL COME

I WIIL FORCE YOU TO KISS ME

TO FEEL MY DISGUSTING TASTE

MY HURT

AND MY TEARS

THE FOOTBALLER

HE KISSES ME

BECAUSE HE SCORES A GOAL?

NO, IT’S BECAUSE HE RUNS ON ME

SO RESPECTFULLY

HE KISSES ME

YOU GO

KEEP GOING

YOU DO

KEEP DOING

ALL THAT DENIES ME OF RESPECT AND HONOUR

AND SOON

I WILL KISS YOU

WITH A CURSE

A CURSE THAT WILL EAT DEEP INTO YOUR SKULL

EVEN AFTER I SWALLOW YOU INTO THE GROUND

I WILL MAKE YOU KISS ME

YOU WILL EAT MY HURT

BUT NOW I HAVE SEEN

ONE

TWO

AND THREE

I SEE FEW WHO ARE KISSING ME

WITH THOUGHTFULNESS

KISS

KISS ME
