Gourmet Literature

Broken words that

Have no justice,

Gourmet literature

You read for free

Italian sodas that taste,

Perilous,

While whispers you

Hear

Miles and miles away,

Amidst a blaring silence

Of mahogany walls,

Leave you wondering

The thoughts

Perching about you;

Weathered fields

Of soggy wheat

Leave a burning

Sensation in your

Eyes,

Italian sodas that taste

Perilous…

Footsteps that

Stop your heartbeat,

Fading away,

The silence awakening

Within you again,

When you swallow,

It tastes like rain

Or maybe tears,

You read for free…
