Eating Vesta Poem by Lonnie Hicks

I reached out and pretended to take her nose
and she pretended that I had done so
laughed gleefully and ran away.

I chased her in the park we both falling to ground
and I reached out and pretended to pluck out her eyes;
she howled
grabbed her brow
saying
'What have you done with my eyes! '

I reached out
opened my mouth
and nibbled on her ear
munching gleefully
and she said in mock pain
'Ouch.'

She pinched my cheek,
a small handful
pretending to salt it
saying
'Delicious, '

followed by a gentle licking
at my open palm.

I took a bite of her and pretended to swallow
and she bit me back pretending to howl
in delight and glee

and ever so sweetly
took two of her fingers
and fed my mouth
saying:

'I want to be your girlfriend'
