Salt lemon and a shot April 4, 2015

  

the salt I taste on the tip of my tongue is not from her, I only pretend it is, salt, lemon, a shot, drunk again on her, on the salt and lemon and shot I still dream I drink from her cup, the juice is semi sweet as is the shot I take to get over her, the salt and the lemon hiding the bitterness I should not feel, a bitterness long past yet not the in the inebriation, the salt the lemon the shot, filling me up when I can't get her, the soul churned up on that sultry afternoon, the naked sunlight spreading across the bed sheets, we stirring it all up. the scent, and that lemon twist I kiss, then the shot, the mist, in the twilight, I peer through, then the salt, the lemon and then one more shot of her
