Casting About

All it takes is one drop
of the syrupy balsamic vinegar
and the dark dot goes deep into
the greens, like a thumb in a lover's
mouth makes for an act of desire.
Let me know when you're done,
& I'll pitch a tent in the grocery
store, wander the empty aisles after
it closes, dip my elbows into the meat,
& press the loaves into white lumps.
