Suburban Sunflower

The moment that she bit
deep into her
ripe city peach like that ..
Was the very

both his eyes
and imagined handfuls of
apricots and a
single suburban sunflower ..
It was also
then that he realised it was
raining, he was
no longer starving, but yet
still hungry
for a small portion of her ..

brilliantly done
