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

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
