Eat My Words

If you are hungry for words
then why not eat mine?

They are both sweet and sour,
desperate yet full of hope.

A raw wine is in them,
and the unripe fruit of my soul.

Bitter are they,
yet let them season, mull them
in a jar of awareness.

They may in time
enrich you, feed your being,

then, if you are kind,

return them to me,
that I might consume,
and taste a meaning,
only you may discern.
