Ruby Lip Print

by Carolyne Rohrig
and Carolyn Hall


hand-written letter
she signs her love
with a ruby lip print

snow angel wingtips
just barely touching

after last night -
"Marry Me?" etched
in the car's frosted windshield

border crossing
another exotic stamp
in their passports

into the flower press
lady slippers side by side

twins!
birth announcements embossed
with silver spoons
