Your ‘Kiss’ In The Book
Reading Time: < 1 minute
She marked the page with a dab of red lipstick off her finger. "I'll come back to that later." I heard her say. When I bought the book in that little second-hand shop at the foot of Dyke Road. I didn't spot the fading kissy fingerprint. No, I missed it - was more engrossed with wading through 'Lallji My Desire' - the purpose of my purchase. But just like a message written when gifting a book, or added in a cryptic margin - once found never to be forgotten. I wondered who she was... even when she was, and where? There was no clue, but her endeavour may have made her finish reading 'The Teak Forest' and been inspired by the very luscious line 'your words were flame and your kisses fire', so, her lipstick 'kiss' makes me inquire Was she perhaps a sapphic lover of Dear Adela? © Allen Ansell 2023
