When I talk with you
your eyes flashing,
your mouth lying
or not
I need to learn
to consult my palate
before I swallow
your act
is it sweet
does it cloy
or burn
is it fresh
and real
or will I sit
afterwards
alone
in the dark
a fool for having
bitten?

I have so missed your poetry! This is such a fabulous piece - completely original, and really amazing what you did with this prompt. I also really loved what you wrote for Glamorous - particularly that last graph.
