Infinite Baby
by Tigris Powers

I kiss you hoping to extract
some of your sweetness for my own.
You smile and we share a secret
that no one else in the room knows.
Bubbling lips and dimpled chin
below wide eyes so eager to begin.
How selfish I am as I wish
that you could stay always like this.

May I always remember—
you see the world in my face.
