body mnemonic

If I never get to kiss your chin 
again, 
at least I'm not sure 
if I did before. Apparently, 
it left not so much as a mark
on my memory, but damn 
if I didn't? I'd wish
with my whole 
full heart,

and if I did? 
I would be so contrite 
to have missed, slipped, lost 
from my memory

so sweet a kiss, 

'pon a target so well 
and shapely made, 
just under your lips 

where my lips 
should be laid.
