Morning dew

  

(2012)

 

It does not smell

As sweet as sweet

Should smell

Shaped like a rose,

Though not as pink,

Petals unfold

At the touch of my finger

Moist,

As in drenched

In morning dew,

A flower that vibrates

When my finger moves

Down into its core.

I am a honey bee

Seeking pollen

I need to sip,

I am a cat

That laps

It up from your lap

As you purr.

It does not smell

As sweet as a rose does,

Yet I’m drawn to it,

I cannot resist tasting

Its taste,

Letting the dew

Drip onto the tip

Of my tongue,

Filling me up,

As I ease my stinger,

Deeper inside.
