Lick

A micro poem searching for catharsis in response to triggers and trauma.

Lick me,
said wound
to tongue
wet with desire,
like salivating at
honey, pressed
on pooling
shallow
gorges of skin
as if, like water
neutralising
caressing
soothes
rinses,
reconstitutes
that biting pain
reiterating
lick me again
pretty
please.
