“Song 53”
What is a poem to a creme brulee?
A tap, a crack, a crumb
Burnt sugar on your lip
And what is a creme brulee to a song,
An echo, little words
To taste upon your tongue
What is a song to a body
willing, a kiss like June
This fire in your mouth
But what is a body to a poem
Between sweet lines, this breath
Is all I have to offer
