The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Could I bury my head in your chest bones?

Unlike the smell of rain on country road sediment
I can not find the tears to make my trauma relevant
There is no sweet scent found in my complex petutlance
I wish my mind quiet; when its thoughts are all Old Testament
This level of self-loathing; to date, has no precedence
Though all my acts of selflessness have never afforded me benevolence
Could I bury my head in your chest bones? 
Maybe then I'll find out if I am worthy of your true elegance?

I figure if I wanted to be held in somebody's heart, the least I could do is ask in a unique way. :) A.S.
