Milk, dark chocolate, whiskey

 

I used to hate milk

but now I like it.

Breakfast in my house

was always cereal for my

siblings, and scrambled eggs

sandwiches for me. But now I

like milk in my decaffeinated tea –

the way it turns the black to gray

like

midnight turns to morning.

And I like to have milk

with a slice of cake.

I like to pour the glass of milk,

crumble my cake into it,

and eat the whole concoction

with a spoon.

 

And I used to hate dark chocolate

but now ,

I really like it.

When my mama used to eat it

I used to be like yuck.

But now I’ve got a different story.

I like it with wine sometimes,

or with nothing oftentimes.

I keep dark chocolate kisses

in the pockets of my jackets

so I’ll have ‘em

if I want ‘em

when I’m out.

 

And I used to think licking

my man’s asshole

was gross,

but now I really like it.

Like a man damn drinking again,

sometimes

my man thinks he shouldn’t indulge

but indulge he does

anyhow.

The first taste

is like a shot of whiskey –

just warm,

not delicious,

but WOW.

I go from bottom to top

of the crack of his ass,

back down and up again,

then repeat.

I’ve never been turned off

by wormy earth after the rains

nor and I disgusted by this.

So I get all into it,

relax, take my time,

let my whole face follow my tongue.

Until I’m buried

in the dank darkness of the behind

and my lips are moving too

like tongue kissing.
