DELICACY
by Elana White
Copyright 1998

open me
unfurl me
peel back my
layers
and sip from me
plump and moist
I am a delicacy
rare and
delicious
as yet
undiscovered
a tender fruit
plucked from the tree
but not
consumed
fondled, but not
bruised
Still fresh
glossy and
ripe
innocent of
a knowing tongue

HAVE YOU EVER
by Elana White
Copyright 1999

Have you ever licked pomegranate juice
from the tip of a ripe, begging breast
Have you ever sipped sweet red wine
from the hollow of a passion-arched spine
Have you ever sucked crushed strawberries
from the webbing of tender splayed fingers
Have you ever eaten melted chocolate
from a bowl filled with cream and quivering
I know that you have not
for you have not tasted me
