Suburban Sunflower
The moment that she bit
deep into her
ripe city peach like that ..
Was the very
same moment, he closed
both his eyes
and imagined handfuls of
apricots and a
single suburban sunflower ..
It was also
then that he realised it was
raining, he was
no longer starving, but yet
still hungry
for a small portion of her ..

Cooeee! Ahh, another poem about KP and I. I fancied bit of her, but got a mouthful of botox. lol.
this was not about KP or really about a sunflower either .. it was about .. nah I'm still very tired so don't want to bring on a swoon in you .. Neville
If it was about a trout, an old one, it would have been about KP. lol.
Was she the apricot or one of the sunflowers? I'm thinking Sunflower. This made me hungry for some peach pie.
