Tonic

Bubbles sparkle my tongue, soured by lemon
quenching only the surface of my thirst
I need to be kissed by art,
to kiss art herself,
sense her effervescence,
without diluting the sparkle

I throw myself again and again
against the bitters of life
making music by kissing the bone of sorrow
so deeply as to delight
within the marrow of her joy
