June's Artichoke Heart

a delicacy a shade
rough of tender, June's final
curtain is so soon forgotten

I hide a tattoo of your seaweed tongue
inside my languid grotto.

I yearn to show the audience
a swoon-song that convinces
all the while you snip syllables
into dragon fans and stroke
your softened honour.
