Sticky Fingers



BY CAROLE NICHOLS

Sticky fingers, covered and sweet

With the juices of such wonderful things;

Inhale the scent of the warm, ripe fruit,

Recall the image and memory it brings.

How filling was that wet repast;

How tempting it was to the mind;

How the nectar kissed the nose and chin;

As you took from it all you could find.

A sigh escapes as now, replete,

The aromatic texture still lingers

Then the taste buds on the tongue explode

As you lick clean those sticky fingers.
