Taste It
Cut it down the dotted line
Open it, take your time
Pour it out in small amounts
Piece by piece, ounce by ounce
Empty it into your bowl
Serve it raw, serve it whole
Take it gently from the skin
Naked flesh lies within
And maybe then you'll
Taste it, on your lips
Lingers like a lover's kiss
Taste it, on your lips
Crushed between your fingertips
Warm it with your body heat
Take it iced, take it neat
Turn it slowly til it's done
Turn it til the colours run
Taste it, on your lips
Lingers like a lover's kiss
Taste it, on your lips
Crushed between your fingertips
When you're sated, seal it tight
Away from heat, away from light
Put it back put it away
Take it out another day
When the hunger gets too much
When you need and crave the touch
When your body says it's time
Just cut me down the dotted line
