The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Season To Burn

Vast, chaotic embraces 
dissolve
falling through fingers,
earth unto earth,

fertile flesh inviting,
tempting eyes,
tempting palms,
tempting ripe seed

with tomorrow's promise
of greater beauty, 
more abundant pleasures

in the core 
of all blossoms and fruit

we burn

in slow dependant rhythm
cured in time, a cycle of life,
a season of intense maturity

we climax.
