Such a Strange Feeling

What a strange taste lingering

there upon my tongue.

I shudder to think of what

might have left this one.

There have been many in my days

left to ruminate in different ways-

but they always taste the same.

So sweet they burn

they drill a hole

through the tongue.

The type of sweet found in screaming winds

on the top of a mountain.

The type you can't rescind

and

once encountered

your tongue never feels the same.

But it leaves

such a strange feeling

lingering in the brain.
