A Poem

I wrote a poem today which I thought I'd post for your consumption, inspired by Jason Evans' poem on his blog.

It tasted crunchy at first
Like grit in my mouth
Then bitter and hard
Stinging my throat

Like crumbling rock
It caught
between
my teeth
And stuck.

It clung there
Lingering

Before a sweet
subtle
softness
Tingled on my tongue

Where it rests now waiting
