Naked and bedded
they fed each other cherries
Pinching a stem and holding the cherry
as if bait for a tiger
Lips spread wide, teeth bared,
they plucked the fruit from its stem
(First, she tickled under each cherry
with her tongue tip because she loved his reaction)
They used to be careful of the cherry juice,
so it wouldn’t get on the white sheet
But they decided pink explosive stains on the sheets
would be good reminders of this afternoon
The rule was tossed aside, and
spraying cherry juice added to the sensual fun
Cherry and cherry, back and forth, feeding and teasing,
the sweet flesh delightful in their mouths
He moved the wide bowl from between them
to the nightstand
As it was time to feast on each other.
