Cannibal

If I could read you

in letters

or symbols

I would write you down

as a sum of words.

And then when you are away,

just for a moment,

I would recite you

and my sentences

would come alive.

But if I could taste you

in smells and flavours

what then, my love?

                                                                                                      

It is difficult to admit

but then

I would eat you gladly

bit by bit
