walking in my garden
a budding blossom captured my sight
she had
rosy lavender petals
and glabrous leaves
parted enough to see
a dripping stamen
i stroked the smooth bulb
fingertips playing at the slit
then slipping in
to dip in honey pollen
morning mist swirled around
my wet fingers
as i lifted this raw
bud to my lips
and licked her
citrus nectar
