Breath and Gracious Kisses - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

My mouth tastes like wet dead leaves
In a rain gutter
How does it deserve yours?

My skin smells of sweat
Virus and medicine
How do they deserve yours?

I sleep in your lap
Tender nurse, heal me
With breath and gracious kisses
