taste test
frozen wills under dill
weeded bliss chilled
recipes half eaten
winded blowfish
diving to fast freedom
under a sea of misfits
bottomless
taken away under
trees sprouting the fruited
tastes on wet tongues
talking tied to love
at a table for three
served sideways at noon
heated micro dialogs
waved with dreams that come
to the end
as a timer breaks fast
and past
midnight happenings and
appetites are appeased
picking up pieces of hope
here apart filling others
as thoughts trickle and tickle
throats down into another
cornered chance
still yet circling in
flight suppressed souls
satiated with salty tears
dripping like a faulty faucet
on forlorn faces
in the kitchen sink
hole slow sinning songs
draining left over
hopes into eternal escapes
eating HIS body drinking
in HIS love
merciful and healing
tasty and without
bloody bitter wills
