Never Pass Up An Opportunity To Kiss!
Especially for our daughters
and their families in Nigeria
Never Pass Up An Opportunity To Kiss
©2014 by Alice Walker
Never pass up
an opportunity
to kiss:
the world has ended
& begun again
many times
before;
if we are to believe
the African Bible*
transcribed for
our frightened era
by Credo Mutwa.
Three deep bows.
Yes, never pass up
an opportunity
to kiss –
to say I love you!
to every leaf, flower
bug
or warlock
that catches your
fancy and/or your heart.
Never pass up
an opportunity
to kiss:
that sweet futile
but delectable
attempt
to touch &
to experience
the
most secret
Consciousness
of a Being
you may never
know.
*Ndaaba, My Children, by Credo Mutwa
