Hold too tight
and seeking fingers squelch past fuzz skin.
The hand quickly retracts
to avoid contact with sticky organs.

The sweet syrup residue
will be licked from the tip of the thumb,
then once more from the ring finger
before peach blood drips to the floor.

Then it is washed away
using citrus dish soap and cold water.
The peach sits unfinished
upon the kitchen counter.
yummy!

We went to the pizza place where we had our first date.
A restaraunt called Marion’s that’s been there forever.
The carpet has a neon palm leaves pattern and the decor is “Italian.”
It doesn’t quite make sense.
We have been back a few times before
but I always love going there with him.
We had our usual pizza, and two pitchers of beer and once the buzz kicked in we talked like we did that first time.
He asked me,
“Are you a happy peacher?”
Smiling at my favorite nickname I said yes.
The rest of the evening was spent gossiping the way only couples do and making each other laugh.
When we got home I dipped into the bathroom and got ready for work until he came in and picked me up; carrying me to the living room to watch Bob’s Burgers.
We smoked a bowl and cuddled on the couch until I had to leave.
It’s always hard to go to work after a day like that, which included beautiful spring weather.
But getting to kiss him good bye always helps.
