KISS ME

A Climate Change Response

KISS ME

IT ISN’T A REQUEST

IT ISN’T A FOREPLAY

IT’S A FOUL PLAY

BEEN PLAYED TO YOU

BECAUSE YOU

DEFILED ME

YOUR EGO MIGHT NOT COMPREHEND THE TRUTH

BUT WHETHER YOUR LOGIC FAIL TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT

YOU CAME FROM ME

THE GROUND

AND INTO THE GROUND YOU SHALL COME

BUT KISS ME

FEEL MY DISGUSTING TASTE

KISS MY HURT

KISS MY TEARS

THE FOOTBALLER,

HE KISSES ME

BECAUSE HE SCORED A GOAL?

NO, IT’S COS HE RANS 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 MEET MY HURT

BUT NOW I HAVE SEEN

ONE

TWO

AND THREE …

I SEE FEW WHO ARE KISSING ME

WITH THOUGHTFULNESS

KISS

KISS ME
