Finger Food

counting one to
ten this time thumbs
included but no matter
that she served them on
a silver platter i wanted none

standing on
wooden floor
boards i asked
her to sit and lift
her feet for me as

she did she being
Diosa for sure having 
had two soles which i licked 
from heel to toe each s l o w l y 
sensitively feeling every bend and curve

then a moment
a moment of pause
each toe defining itself
like fingerprints individually
each toe telling its special need

each special care
for this little piggy is
going to market and will
be moaning wee wee wee
taking her all the way home
