My Tongue, Drooling
Sunshine summer raining down
On naked breath, hope
Racing to meet the echoes
Promises awakened on the caress
Of light, stirring, silencing
Every dark thought – as my fingers work
Struggling to grasp every plump
Blackberry without grazing the thorns
From the briars where such blessed
Goodness survives the showers
Who pound away at the earth, erasing
Every doubt that this luscious
Flavor, blackberry heaven, could ever
Be surpassed by any other suggestion
Extract of sweetness, delectableness
The taste of blackberry ecstasy
Awaiting my drooling tongue, it’s destiny!
