he asked for flesh
he asked for flesh
twelve ninety nine
crawling fingers
fifty cents
a pound
he asked for fruit
the white of breasts
the pink of lips
red wine
thigh rounds
he asked for touches
and he asked for
presses
he asked for glances
and he asked for caresses
he asked for it hot
smoked
and broiled
he asked for it always
new and unspoiled
and when the order came
he smiled
and dug in
because it was all spicy and
fresh
and when the woman
a table over asked
what did he get
the waitress said
he asked for flesh
