So Today I Write

Columbian Erotica

Thick and dark and honey sweet
hot as summer
burnished peat

savor savor savor on
when nothing else
will bring it on

close your eyes
and breathe it in
through sinew bone blood and skin

don't delay
the time is now
let it flow from root to bough

open wide
the ride's not done
the second sip awaits your tongue
