thinking of shells
unshelled
naked aquatic roaches
they call prawns
the same family as bug spray worthy crawlies
and now in my belly
with garlic sauteed
served on avocado
on the side
linguini
with my tomato sauce
blended smooth
with traces of lamb sausage
passage to the ends of taste
no waste
of emotions
as i dig up memories
of how you'd smile with each mouthful
each deep bite
each slippery swallow
each smacking lip flick sound and succor
and the bread
to soak up all the current now
the sauce, the smallest morsel of taste and smell...
goes down well
with you...
