feed me
I'm always hungry
give me tiny tastes of your cornucopious self
I get drunk on your large amount of
"earnest" and "weird"
your "smart" is my favorite spice so far,
it burns my lips
your "affectionate" reminds me of authentic chai
made with cardamom and "tender"
your "volatile" and "sturdy" nourish my bones
like sautéed collards and chicken
some days you serve dessert first
with your "twinkling" and "dark-eyed"
serving hot chocolate with chili powder
your "exotic" has a tendency
to dribble down my chin and we laugh
darling, I love that I can never have enough of you
there is certainly plenty of your perfect to go around
but never doubt that I'm starving
may my hunger never take more than
you offer but rather
inspire you to give freely
never fearing I will tire of you
becoming full, and leaving your table
