Visceral Adventures

My naked feet feel the slick, moist grass in the quiet park
                         as my fingers pluck and trace the soft edges of a flower petal.
                 My back is pricked as I lean against a spiked, tree trunk
           while my hand swipes off a sticky, delicate cobweb from my face.
       As I pull off the cobwebs, tree sap drops onto my hair
    penetrating my scalp, and I attempt to pull off it's gooey sap.
        Suddenly, I feel the thick, sandpaper lick of a dog's tongue 
            on my cheek, and I laugh, petting his fluffy fur with pleasure.
