the taste and the touch of the song


i know that song,
the one about angels

the one about marching and guns

the one about lovers unreachable
the one about days in the sun

then i say cicadas and you cry

all the places where memory attaches
like the lightest touch of lips on eyelashes

there can be no such thing
as stolen fruit, no crime in picking,

or it wouldn't be so sweet
the scent and the color sing:

eat me.
