Caveat

this tired face,
freckled with the dust of the road,
peers into your windows

brought to bay by desire

I hunger only for what is forbidden:
Adam eying the apple,
mouth moist and

tongue already tasting

only to be disappointed,
for once the fruit is plucked,
bitten into, savoured, and swallowed

it is gone

(and I am still hungry)
