Marrow Mouth<br />
Shane Vaughan<br />
As if you are a three course meal<br />
bottle of the black grape to boot<br />
and hadn't I my fill years ago<br />
As if I can't taste the sour<br />
on the edge of your tongue<br />
when I order you rare<br />
As if waiting makes a difference<br />
was it six months since last<br />
we took each other out<br />
As if you haven't cooked<br />
in all this time and<br />
we're still dining each other.<br />
As if there's more meal<br />
in the dry-bone sucking<br />
mouth to the marrow.<br />
Marrow into lung<br />
that's us, babe.<br />
Perhaps tonight I'll<br />
order something exotic.
