Chocolate
Cream of the cocoa bean slides
along the tongue like lover's privatest part
and then lights little love fires along
the bayous of the brain
but love it is I lack
so I cover myself hair to toenails
in an armour of cracking chocolate and
walk outside. Everyone wants me now,
even the bears, their shag-carpet breath
heating trickles as they lick me clean.
