Poems, Prose, Photos & the Art of Being Human
SATSUMA
Crescents of tangerine cool nipples
that purse like lips as
O of navel grips its slice &
taut shiny glans raises its
section to the sun, hot through
blue-green leaves of eucalyptus;
tongue slides between citrus & skin
belly arcs smooth,
teeth release juice bursting
through this moist cavern,
tongue, lapping in slow pulses,
swallows, wet open flames.

Crimson rOse petals,

cherries,
straWberries,
plums,

glow,
flush,
blush,

Rubeous,
carnLian,

as ScarLet hummingbirds
SOAR from our
Mad
voRacious
heartS.

BUGS
did you see three green bugs eating coffeecake flowers & squirming on bellies as they danced to the beat of caramel kisses from here to their hole?
