If you wake up feeling dark-hollow
in pure full sun, the obvious answer
is that you should be kissing someone
Parent, child, sister or brother,
auntie, uncle, cousin or friend
Any of these will do — but of course
you’d rather kiss a lover
even if it’s not the one beside you
Even if the one you’d rather kiss
is dead so many years gone by
you cannot recall well anymore
the shape of their mouth
No matter
Make of your mouth the mandala
The holy O of contact
Look around for someone who
will welcome the laying on of that sweet wreath
Let it burst from you upon them
and the day shall fill for you both
with laughter at the least
with love at the most
Dark Matter
