Powdered Sugar

 

Keep this love note

as you would any

cherry coated message

wrapped in a dusting

of powdered sugar…

 

Keep it beside

your cherry lip gloss

and the panties I left

in your drawer by the table

where you spread your legs

wide without asking and you

opened your lips without knowing

how we tasted the same

 

You on top

Me on bottom

Our faces buried

inside one another,

each of us savoring that

cherry flavor,

that powdered sugar crust

we leave behind

when the water recedes like waves

of a climax.

 

It’s like that salty rim

on your Margaretta

begging for your tongue.

It’s like sipping your amber sunset,

that essence of lime

and sugar combined,

that buzz in your brain.

 

I’m so happy you came

in my mouth…
