Date Night
Jessica Gleason
The capers popped
in my mouth, tiny
briny little bursts
of flavors.
They pair perfectly
with a timeless
olive-oiled pasta
and a glass of
Sémillon.
Chewing delightfully,
I offer you a taste,
just one delicious morsel
to whet your appetite.
Laughing at my forgetfulness,
I shovel the warm forkful
into my own mouth,
savoring its rich earthy flavor.
Next time, perhaps,
if you’ve behaved yourself
we could remove
the tape long enough
for a bite.
