How The Having of It Quenches
Tender to the touch
so sensual, so promising
alluring, flirting
uplifting and addictive
as the taste of you crosses my lips
delicious in a sweet, thirsty way
like cool rain after a long summer drought
there are ways to make of the moment
anything can happen
with a Brandywine heirloom tomato
from my garden.
