Sweet Rose

i folk dance the gypsy czardas, red and robust on my lips, a kiss of sweet rose. coveted sweet pepper, exotic fruit spice. delicious budapest dance, seasoned to perfection. my husband pressured me, to cheat on my paprikash. a catholic priest uttered latin words of “capsicum annuum” absolution received for my sin.
