I’m so hungry from your love,
My sweet child.
We tossed all morning
Now toss me a salad.
Something fresh
With tart and crunch to it.
Peel off and carefully
Tear some fresh purple-veined
Romaine
As I watch with sleepy sated eyes.
Next a small wedge of iceberg
Crisp and scrumptious.
I am still savoring your girlish taste
In my mouth,
And your face still flushed,
Fresh from loving.
I offer my round red cherry
Tomatoes
Bursting with juices and flavor.
Suck one in your mouth
And taste the sweetness,
My sweetest.
Dark and meaty
Mushrooms,
Bring mischief to your olive eyes
As you note their bulbous shape
And smooth flesh.
I produce a long thick
Cucumber
That you can’t resist teasing me with,
Noting a certain similarity as you lick it,
Like you licked me
Just moments ago.
Oh, here’s some big ones for you, baby.
Carrots
Whose length and girth
Fill your tiny hands.
Cheese is in the bottom tray
Baby
Bend over
And crumble my cheese
With tender care.
Big tasty chunks of blue love.
Now a sweet creamy
Vinaigrette
To get it all wet and slick.
Croutons
For the crunch,
Tuna
White meat,
Tender flakes whose smell
Reminds me of
You, darling girl.
Now come, baby,
Come
Over here
And give it
To this hungry man.
