If from a simple seed

Anything can be

You keep well
waiting in there
to perfume the room
It must get frustrating
awaiting someone
to take you and make you animate?
Oh you paralyzed orb
why am I drawn like a cat
to your snowglobing?
Must you transfix me
always at this almost?
Would you just peel yourself already?

Everyone knows to savor you
to the last sweet morsel
affixed to your simple core
you are simply above us all
Out on the counter you sit
We watch for days
awaiting the perfect breakdown
Not just the sweet spot bruise
we want it all
the full vulnerability
your gentle curve

unaware of how wonderful you are
in the breeze of a [...]

How placidly you wait
for me to get hungry
and midday muse
over making you
done

Be not overwrought

colors of sunset
I have no need to capture you rope and line
I only want you to stay for a moment alone

You are such a mess
barely contained
by thin skin
And yet
you are
delicious
How reassuring
when you melt
in my mouth
Oh deconstructed myth
resist! Make me
salivate more
Maintain my hope
Sticky
hot day
you ooze
No ceremony
(how chips crushed
in one’s mouth
make mashed potatoes
no class
all out)
to eat you
to your core
again and again
ever finished
