Salt
Salt flavors delicacies of fleshMaking the tasteless savory
Yet, like too much love
Overflowing my capacity to absorb
Forbidding consumption of your vastness...
Salt trails to oceans
Flavors rivers of tears
Bloats floating bodies
Forced to succumb to the terrors
Of their human fears
Salt escapes my core
As temperatures rise
To languish upon my skin
A powdery, residual reminder
Of passionate fires burned within
Salt once measured human worth
And, though traded for gold
Escaped to return
Back into that flesh
Salt once measured human worth
And, though traded for gold
Escaped to return
Back into that flesh
For which it once was sold
