sometimes i want to eat language
feel my mouth watering
as i think about the delicacy
of beautiful words
explore the crunchiness
when i bite into each letter
i want to
soak the alphabet
in milk and honey
tingle the tip of my tongue with syllables
search for deep bitterness in consonants
eat myself to life
as silky smooth vowels
trickle down my throat
enjoy a dish made of words
delectable flavours
still lingering in my mouth
even now i can hear
my stomach growling
as i digest
every word
i ate up
