even stones long to be kissed

touch is the first experience
that visits you in the womb
light or heavy
or broad like the sea floor
you are imprinted
yes, your skin, but also
your mind can feel the rolling point
leaving tears and sighs in its wake
as you lean into more
everything in you
is exploring the texture
of everything around you
close your eyes
and feel your lids
gently kiss
they are faithful lovers
returning 20,000 times a day
and sacred every time
we know that things
come to life with
under a hand’s caress
or the gentle stroking of the wind
we know that even stones
ache to be touched
because we hear them sing
when the flood is finally loosed
