Too good to be real

  

(date unknown)

 

All the good places

Have soft edges

And taste sweet

Even though neither is

Soft nor sweet,

Like a rose or like candy

Even though

I recall them that way

Having prodded and poked

In such places

So long in the past

I can’t remember quite

What it really feels like

Why I still want it,

Why I still want to see it,

Why I still want to feel it,

Tasting honey that is not honey,

Easing into places

Too soft to be real

Like dream-waking

With only the vague

Recollection of what was,

The trickle on my skin,

My lips, my hips,

Seeing it all through

The haze of

Half-closed eyes
