i take my first bite, smile because i am about to mar something whole. it sits against my tongue, hard palate freezing, ice cream melting, strawberry crushed to pulp. cream goes down my throat. i take a second bite, wait like the first time, get impatient, chew— seeds get stuck in my teeth. a third bite, a fourth, fifth, pause— hover and hesitate. the air is cold against my lips. i bite—strawberry, cream, seeds, ice, oh— i hit wood.

what do you mean, it's lewd? that wasn't my intention, i was just eating ice cream, i promise! (lol)
