I want the pulp of you Your stringy white insides I want the lattice of your creation To get stuck in my teeth I want to savor every sliver of you The parts of you that need a warning The versions left on the shelf The bits of you that blend in with the fruit But pack a punch I want to relish in the chewy remnants of a skin you shed long ago I want to peel back your orange shell And taste the tender threads that hold you together I want to drink your syrupy nectar To gnaw away the sweet parts Right down to the rind of you And swallow the secret pomace of your heart
