dessert

you said it was a little seductive

with my lip stain on the rim

that I looked up to scorch your offering

with a beggarly kind of humming

strumming you to so much music

we drizzled in our dances

syrup from our purring tongues

to tease our palates tempting

a lavish meal with whine

you said you would like it better

if we tossed our proper napkins

and ate the ladyfingers first

 

we could lap our plates clean after
