The meat of the Oyster (2012)

 

You suck in the meat

Of each oyster

And I wish it was me

You consume,

This need in me

To be inside you,

Devouring it all,

Each piece of meat

Swallowed whole

Or perhaps,

Lingering for an instant

On the tip of your tongue

Where you play with it,

And I ache more

And wish more it was me,

You suck each,

Discarding the hard shells,

Having taken the best

Part of each,

I am an oyster shell

Meat sucked

Completely out of me

And still I ache for more
