Heat of Winter
I see it sitting there
and my taste buds water instantly
Imagining the juices running
down my throat
over my chin
Making me all sticky
I smile just thinking of it
I can almost feel my lips
wrapping around it
My tongue embracing it
Begging it to give more
I don’t know what brought
That LifeSavers popscicle to mind this morning
Except maybe a simple longing
For the days of summer.
