Classic and Contemporary Poetry


A FLASH by JEANNETTE FOSTER

First Line: YOUR KISS UPON MY HAND
Last Line: YOUR LIPS AGAINST MY FINGERS.
Subject(s): KISSES;

Your kiss upon my hand!
How I am lifted to a queenly place
Among the singing stars! My soul is shaken!
The whole of me knows ecstasy turned pain,
So small a thing -- yet I have wept for it --
Your lips against my fingers.
