Lichee

I peel spirals in the ever so thin

goose bump leather of this strange

sunset egg: hushed rusts and mauve

in an aging girlish blush reveal

wet succulent mollusk flesh

translucent, milky

and some other world Geisha perfume

Drizzles and holds, drizzles and holds

The hard Oxford-brown

shoe-shine pit lodged

in her center.
