The kiss from the long since dead
is not as hard to wipe away
as the one supplied by the Judas,
the one on the cheek, the one
that eats away like caustic soda
eating through the skin
until it tears at the soul…
the kiss from the long since dead,
whilst full of mental scaring,
is nonetheless acceptable
as the dead can remain dead…
unless you decide to resurrect them.
The kiss from the long since dead
can be left to rot upon the memory of the lips
