Sealed With a Kiss
She used a kiss for postage stamps
she mailed her letter "neath the lamp
lit by the oldest man in town
she watched him bring his ladder down
he touched her cheek and kissed her hair
and bade her go backhome from there
the twilight gave way to the dark
she watched the street light's golden spark
reflected in some secret eyes
among the lilacs sweet surprise
Her postage kisses found their mark
on male that came in after dark.
