Replying to a comment on:
would i be considered crazy (Free verse) by silvertongueddevil
would i be considered crazy
to run you ragged on a hot day
just so i could sponge the sweat from you
and wring that sponge into a dish
and set that dish in the sun
to evaporate, to leave behind a thin film
of your salt?
how long would it take? all summer?
to collect a spoonful, or just a pinch,
enough to sprinkle, flavour.
would it be enough
to return my appetite,
re-engage my interest in food
that i lost when i met you
and became convinced
that your flesh was all
the sustenance i needed.
