Hot and Spicy and Fresh

It’s white
Hot white
Usually hard yet powdery

I put one in my mouth.
Feel the sharpness prickle:
Don’t chew!

Let it linger
On my tongue
Saliva dissolves it slowly…

Hot!
Hot!
Hot!

I cannot
resist
a little nibble.

Just
at
the edge…

It shatters!
I try not to drool
Teethy succulence.

Freshness flies through my sinuses
My mouth happy and free
My tongue searches for morsels,

For another one.
