Saying Goodbye

she lays kisses like
railroad tracks
like strategic fire
burning pine and brush alike
leaving only ash and smoke and
coldness
in the wake of her tongue
he falls like rain upon
that skin, supple sweet
underneath the stomach's curve
covering her mouth in joy and secreted
glances across a crowded room
