REFLECTIONS ON A WATERMELON

REFLECTIONS ON WATERMELON

Summer swelter
My body drenched
I reach for the last slice

Bright and pink
My tongue probes the seeds
'Til they fall into my mouth

The boys see
Who can spit the farthest
But I am just a girl

Instead, after ridding my seeds
"Like a girl"
I once more let my tongue

Delve into the depths
Breaking off pieces
To dissolve in my mouth

Mmmm. sticky, sweet nectar
Dribbles down my chin
Onto my fingers

Succulent and wet
Oh, sooo cool in my mouth
Sooo refreshing

After the last swallow
I slowly run my tongue
Along the rind

Savoring any last juice
Then… one… by… one…
I suck… my fingers… dry
