Barbarian Caviar Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Barbarian Caviar



Bringing the center
of the blossom
to my lips

the irresistible aroma
is literally to die for.
I now understand

the meaning of petite mort.
Inebriated and dizzied
my tongue darts

into the salmon-colored
center never thinking a flower
can be seasoned this good.

But then it takes a barbarian
Cossack gypsy to lodge
his tongue in rose caviar.
