LAST KISS

She asked for one last kiss
before he said goodbye.
He planned to start afresh tomorrow,
her taste no longer on his tongue.
But tonight, she was so hard to refuse.
Distilled from roots and berries
she slid right down his throat.
Familiar burn, then
Euphoria
He drifted off.
Then, eyes wide open.
Last gasp,
a wry laugh—
this was finally goodbye.
