Cool Sugars

Ron Koppelberger

Cool Sugars

Anticipating the cool sugars of chocolate saps and

Sprinkles of candy, shameless by the sun and unto the

Warmth of days in youth, an arousing icy triumph

In tasty design, the wonts of a ritual in tender touch,

By tongues and sticky fingertips, by eyes aghast in

Longing passions of secret embrace, like the cream of childhood flavor

And wanting realms of

Summer need.
