You are a bubble of liquid
Enclosed in a fine skin of gossamer
And protected by an outer leathery skin
If I am not careful when shucking you of your outer layer,
You weep pale white tears, sweet and cool
Upon my cracked, dried skin
When I bite into you, it is a joyous explosion of sensation
Sweet juices flooding my mouth
Until I come across your hidden core
At your heart is a pit, dark and smooth
Shaped like an almond
Which catches my fine white teeth, and makes them draw away.
Author notes
this is about a lychee nut. They are EXCELLENT.
