The Candy Inside My Mouth Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Candy Inside My Mouth



i have this
round and sweet Chinese
delicacy from
shanghai
i remove it from
its cellophane wrapping
and as i write this
poem
it is wet inside
my mouth

i want it slow and sure
savory
and without any
intention for biting
and quickly
breaking it

to my bitter tongue
i must submit
