Delicate Seas
for Tia

almost scared to touch you
juicy as you is

even with my pen,
like when you bite a peach,
the juice might spout

might break the skin
and stain my shirt

what a meal you are

meat and fruit and vegetables
to bite into and chew

mango juice, skin to tear off
with my teeth

must remove your slippers
from your feet
