Mmm, my edible baby, that indelible smell -
I dreamt you turned into a chocolate cake
and I ate you.
You came, a cross-species conglomeration:
kitten cries, froggy legs, feeding like a nestling -
how we discovered, sampling chipmunk cheeks,
that around you, we all turn cannibal
what alarm I felt in that dream halfway through
my indulgence of you - tried to reverse you to existence -
such relief when I awoke and I saw you lying there -
sweet little chocolate peach
with soft breadroll ankles
darling, you consume me, but I can't do the same
instead, I will sip you with kisses.
