Ain't nothin' Like it
by Shannon McEwen
Squishy hugs with chubby arms
Long fingers clasped
Around dark strands of hair
Cherub face pressed
Against a weary shoulder
Before rising
Puckered lips
Encircling sticky cheeks
Nine and one half smooches
Before my heart
Melts
Like chocolate
When lips part
“la u”
