Food-egasim


The smell hits me first
Smooth olives dipped
In Mediterranean vinegar
Then the tang of cut onions
Basted drip down the nerves of my spine
And electrical currents lift tiny hairs on my arms
And a silent wish rises from the depths of me
A cry for humanity
I wish everyone could enjoy their food
As much as I do
Next the cream feeling
Soft and delicate of goats cheese
Melts on the roof of my mouth while my tongue
Lavishes in grains mixes with spices
And liquids
And layers
Of taste
To delight my toes
As they curl
And the baby tomato
Explodes sending
Sensations of wet seeds
In the mix
And my breath
Inhales as if a lover
Had touched some deep
Forbidden place
In public

And then I smile at her
As she enjoys watching
Me eat…
And enjoy the pleasures…
They add to her own…

My eyes close
And she takes
A raspberry
Creamed in chocolate mouse
Delicately placed
In my mouth,
Her delicate fingers
Like a part of the meal
I wish to savor
And the chocolate mixes
With the flesh of
Raspberry and skin

intake of deeper breaths
still…
and the serpent coils
at the base of my spine
leaps through
my vertebra
like a cannon
exploding
out the top of my head
and we are in a public place

I'm being held up
By an invisible string
From the heavens
And I wish
I wish everyone could enjoy their food
As much as I do.
