the giver

he wouldn't kiss me because i smelled like apple
so i took him from behind
bearing my teeth to his neck and shoulder
i pulled and stretched the collar of his shirt
then reaching, i stuck my finger in his belly-button
and waited.

i nearly choked reading your comment, enriko... soda and "this poem is wanton soup" is the perfect combination for "fizz-inhilation".

i'm glad you like it, i wrote it just for you, what with you asking so nicely in the comments from the previous poem and all.

Ouch! (Very good ouch.) Very Marie Howe, in a way. That making dinner and stabbing you in the stomach thing. Except very erotic. And very delicate (i.e. Katy).
(I think that is definitely your word: delicate.)

Typo: smelled. I think I told you I liked it right?

it's not a typo, it's a mistake in tense. thanks for pointing it out though, editor. and yeah, you did tell me you liked it.
