Sweet and Sour, Salty, Bitter
for a partner in crime
x
This life,
it’s a cup
filled to the rim
with passion.
Thick,
bubbling,
overflowing
passion.
It slops
and spills
all over the place
like
a mad fountain,
a leaky tap,
a hungry dog’s drool and dribble.
It flows in dark velvet.
It cascades in rainbow magic.
And you and I,
we lie under it
and roll onto our backs.
We gaze up,
squinting at the sun,
smiling at the rain,
tongue outstretched
and we giggle
as we guzzle,
filling our bellies,
our minds
and our hearts,
savouring
every
last
drop.

I adored every word, but
a mad fountain,
a leaky tap,
a hungry dog’s drool and dribble.
is just pure joy.
Also, strangely enough, I almost called you at 2am this morning to read this wonderful line from a Miranda July short story… That day I carried the deam around like a full glass of water, moving gracefully so I would not lose any of it.
true story. I really thought of you when I read that. xx

You have excelled again Jessica. This is a wonderful, evocative piece. Such sensuality and precious present-momentness. Dare I say that these words form something of a paradox in that they take us on a journey but it is really all about a moment in time? So well done. I liked:
and we giggle
as we guzzle,
It could have been wriggle and that’s what I imagine…like a third harmony. Simply lovely and lovely simple. G
