The First Time I Tasted Sushi

[luceluna]

This is my wish; you, my lust.
"He would finger death, transplants,
Deftly and without shame,"
Her mango groves, nutrient-bloated, cry.
"Besides," – she loves, cleanly –
"Love is an unnecessary accoutrement."

Dirty vest, unquite skintight.
Trace my arm:
Swelled muscle, (a benign
tumour – invaders) and clumping hair.
Svelt lines, earthen tastes.
Rough, and roughly

I play with our bodies,
Relieved under waves of scent.
The coverings of my skull drop;
Dark scratches clog:
Burrowing, sweaty moles – hideously snouty, blind.

"He is lost to you,"
She writes: and if he cannot recover me
– Discover me –
So am I.

[Poeticsiren]

The first time
Ever I tasted sushi
I felt the sun rise in your eyes
And soon thereafter
Cellulite rise within your thighs
Deluding my eyes
Thinking you'd doubled in size
"Would you like that with fries?"
It wouldn't be a surprise
Next you'd want the whole franchise
With a stomach much smaller than your eyes
If you were thrown into water you'd surely capsise
You no longer give me a "rise"
Or inspire me to fantasize
So instead I'll stick with sushi because it's nice.

nice to see that we can always rely on you to lower the tone, nayth

lol, so far in this thread, i've had

1) a blunt, 5 word response from laurie dearest ("YOU wrote that?" lol),

2) a gushing endorsement from one of the many dan's on the board, and

3) a piece of poetic wonderment from my own red tartan-clad toriphile, nathan.

i feel so special ;D
