To the Rind


Beneath waves of sweet pink flesh

he breathes in the moisture 

tastes the salty sweet summer

of Southern California July

memories flood in from 

years ago

eating down to the rind

wanting every moment of the consumption 

even if it meant pain later on

life meant to be eaten

all the way to the edge
