cusp
There is nothing more erotic than potential
for it lies under flesh and bone
sweet like the hard packed meat of an apple
beneath a covering of tasteless skin.
Plucked from one who is almost ripe
coming
to a state of maturity
hovering on the precipice of actuality
being
feeling
giving
to the hunger of the surrounding world
and the world feeds
letting the juice of talent and celebrity
stain fingers already sticky
with extended excitement
and release.
