Kitchen Music

saffron powder the laden strands
dye your hands
the richness of colour without taste'¦

we streak our bodies
on the sunlight
this dancing patch'¦

we find cinnamon for our mouths
burn our tongues with jabaƱeros
leaf, through epidermal lines'¦

and lick, and lick, and lick,
the wounds of the bound flesh
at the base of your wrist'¦

besitos on an accordion stick

Creative.

Such great poetic devices, and the idea of cooking, or at least, kitchen spices and foods, is really interesting when tied with romance. This seemed really sensual to me, and I loved it.

Hmm. Interesting piece. I am not quite understanding the meaning, personally. But I'm leaning towards liking it for some mysterious reason that lies beyond conscious thought. I like the essence.
