the lust for words…

 

 

goût

 

Words can be a feast.

 

There is a lust for words

   that dances round the page,

and waits for you,

for me,

it doesn’t hide,

it lingers for the last little word,

the glittering one

   that leaps from the quill,

and fills the plate,

and waits for you,

for me,

to taste the shine…
