hard as a lollipop, plump and tender as a plum

Last night I licked 
your love, you love, 
like a cat. And 
I watched you rise like 
bread baking, like 
a helium balloon, rise 
with the skill of a soufflé, 
your love, waving like 
passengers on a boat coming in. 
My cheek resting on your belly, 
moist like a bathroom mirror, resting 
in your hair like 
dew grass, I drew 
your love out like 
the head of a turtle, like 
an accordion, like 
an expandable drinking glass. 
I licked 
you love, your love, 
hard as a lollipop, plump 
and tender as a plum. 
I held you 
like a mitten, like a cup, 
and, like the crowds in the spray of a Yellowstone geyser, 
like kids splashing in a July fire hydrant, 
like a dinner guest biting in a whole tomato, 
I gasped, 
I laughed, 
I feasted on your vintage.
