Bittersweet
There are people
that either pulls poetry
out of you or
slips a word
into you.
Percolates
like morning brew
or something
indescribable
never
tasted before
Does she circulate
your mouth's membrane
before soothing
your esophagus?
or make
you say, "mmm"
as hunger's fill-in?
Is she the answer
or the beginning
of wondrous questioning
Do you know?
Have you asked?
Is your mouth closed
Is she the more
you cannot get
enough of
Or the little
you never let go of
A word or the poem
Savory and sweet
My prose ingredient
is bittersweet
