Clandestine Kisses

by Marilyn Buck

Kisses
bloom on lips
which have already spoken
stolen clandestine kisses

a prisoner kisses
she is defiant
she breaks the rules
she traffics in contraband womens kisses

a crime wave of kisses
bitter sweet sensuality
flouting women-hating satraps
in their prison fiefdoms
   furious
   that love
   can not be arrested
