Before Dinner (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
The pestle is bone. The whisk, fingers. Balustrades tremble to my touch. The morter is flesh. Each dancing spot of flour Dusts your skin, Flutters with your breath Steps buckle and sway. My voice, a stifled burst. The pin turns a swathe. The cup, sweet lips. Smoke churns as I enter. The breadth extends. I hesitate, pierce the doorway.

Up the ladder: iPod
Down the ladder: Holocaust

I doubt dinner was on the menu.

Morter and pestal, a short melding before dinner - how sweet. Pierce the doorway - how enticing. Yes.

Very nice, tres kinky :-) Although on the first read, I felt that 'bone' and 'fingers' were reminiscent of a skeleton. Not sexy!

BTW, "mortar", not "morter".
