Word.

 

 

you are more
than sustenance

you are more
than just dessert

you are ethereal
intangible
elusive

you are the edge
on a perfect Sauvignon

the difference

between a cigar
and a Havana

between bread
and manna

you are the buzz
around a good dinner table

and what is between us
is the numbing
of uncut coke on gums

the difference
between the sum
and the parts
it’s greater than

You are so much more
than food

you are the thought of it
to a man starving
you are the curl
of hot chicken breast
at carving

you are the power
of a glimpse of stocking

you are soupsson
definite but delicate taste
of more

you are frisson
a tingle
running up and down
my spine

the holy grail
not just the altar wine

and I want to make you

mine
