With sunrise came a hunger
So I,
I bit deeply into the peach,
that you’d left uncovered
on the bed
And,
drank the juice
sweet and warm
on my tongue
And down by throat
While you,
you seemed delighted
at how quickly
breakfast came
Then
suddenly famished,
took the fruit
all the way
into your mouth
that you’d not finished
the night before
But,
rather than have you
swallow whole,
and risk
choking on
too big a bite,
I pulled you close
sinking easily into
the unfinished peach,
dripping wet on the sheets,
while sharing the taste
on both our lips
Unconcerned with the mess
we devoured with abandon
while you,
without warning
****** your fingers
into my watermelon
roaring with delight
Apples,
then melons
then cherries,
tearing right
through every bunch
Then,
deciding not to waste the seeds,
we moved instead
straight on to lunch
