like the color
of my heart
the jaw hinge
spreading wide
to enfold
like a lover
red
my favorite flavor
hotcold
spicysweet
my pointed tongue
laps each bite
like Eve
in the garden
with her apple
Is this wisdom I give you? The wisdom of the gods?
No. It's only
red.
(Taking a break from the sacred turtle poems this week. I actually had a request to write a piece for this picture a few weeks ago. I don't know how to credit this image, as it's all over the internet. I found it here on WeHeartIt. If anyone owns it, let me know and you'll receive your proper credit.)
