Kernel
A popcorn kernel between your gums
serves only to annoy.
Until it festers to a head
and pops out to your joy.
A kernel to be licked about
provoking all your gums
and soothing nature come to you.
Your voice in little hums.
To lastly there's a swallow had.
A gulp to pull it down.
To scratch your throat in bitter taste
and leave it there to drown.
