The master chef



he fancied me
like a red plum
cream souffle 

pouring hot milk
& vanilla into my yolk
he stirred me  
rapidly on bowl

to sugary drumbeats, 
i parted my lips into
a believer, sieving  
edges until my skin 
melted butter & salt  

i rose 
warm golden,
to soft peaks,
dusted icing ready 
for the precipice,
soulful bite  

but all I heard 
were crickets
drowning the moon's song,  
as his palette knife   
climbed my neck 
framed in velvet ribbon

  10. I admit I paused on the first stanza with a smile and riotous associations before happily plunging onward--but I wasn't prepared for the sexy surprises ahead. And even though the souffle wasn't quite ... it/she/he settles, always settles for the romance of the climb to the velvet ribbon. Sigh. I'm going to cook more so my fantasies can eat.
