The streetlights have only just come on
and Father’s summoning whistle
stabs into the park.
 
I could kiss you quickly
(before it gets dark)
and have an excuse
to turn and run.

So much in these few lines, even the title sets it up just right, very much enjoyed the feeling of first kisses you capture here, parents ring phones now, so it also stands as an imprint of something that's changing.
