Dessert

 

 

 

 

no one was hungry after dinner but

the ripe figs were beginning to burst

 

and we couldn’t let sufficiency

get in the way of what was splendid

 

it was always summer for the fiend

who wanted everything

 

the spun sugar sings how

 

craving is infinite 

going forward or in reverse
