Lick

By Cheryl Snell

 

Little girls practice on their hands
under dotted swiss canopies:
The veiny splay of pink,
appetizing as an hors d’ouevre.
It’s ready to wrestle, rumble.

We can’t help our urges
running amuck, envying the household cat
her sandpaper tongue, her nonstop lapping.

When it’s all you can think about, remember
that an outlet must let itself out. Let it.
