for cheek-turn means
staying within slapping distance
equal, more or less,
to embrace-reach;
reconciliation is resolve
(or resignation)
of leaving’s impossibility
or staying-intent
but either way
between those feet and these
between slap-decision and slap
kiss-need and kiss
the wind must have room to blow
for love is a fire
and no flame can reconcile
to oxygen-free burning.
