Trusted (poetry)
My sweet, soft, ripe, bruised
peach
Touched and taken from your
wide and low
ceramic
dish
Your broken skin tenderly kissed
Your sticky, sweet juices
offered up
to hungry lips
This moment, this
perfect bliss
this delicate
kitchen tryst
Your fuzzy surface penetrated
by unrepentant teeth
The sinking in, the sucking skin
The violently released
