English term

pucker

English to Spanish Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
"And here is the pucker of arrival and the thunk of power."

Right now I have:
Aqui esta el besito de llegada y el sordo golpecito de poder.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks....

beso

More context would be welcome - I know pucker es besito, (o piquito as kids say in Spain) but I'd say:
Aquí el beso de llegada/bienvenida, y el mazazo de poder.

"pucket factor" is assessment of the 'fear factor', as in the difficulty or risk involved in an upcoming mission
