cinnamon

what’s in a consonant?
what’s in a syllable?

you taste
of cinnamon

such a strong striking taste
lingering on my tongue
(and my tongue
knows lingering
learnt it by heart
from great ancient manuscripts

I love strong flavors
tastes that linger
grow on you

down there where
as you descend
zone
grown delicious

and there
deeper down
freshly ground

maybe I will stall
entangled in the roots
of first fatal tree

which I believe
just had to be cinnamon

here we are
sneak a look

spell out
all you can see (C)
