Navel

she pierced
the luscious skin
with a deep
plunge
of her thumb

sunk her teeth
into its
juicy pulp

she felt
the joy
of biting
in the sun

Simple everyday things that make up the varied tapestry of life. The senses that derive so much pleasure from the commonplace, habitual occurrences of daily life. Sometimes we forget these things. Well written.
