chocolate syrup, ice cubes and tongue
dark and treacly
smooth and velvety
a contrast against the pinkness of my tongue
how will i remove this dhrishti pottu*
on the tip of my tongue?
the chips pour into my mouth
the cold courses through my teeth
as they begin to melt
my tongue tingles with sensations
previously unknown
how i long to share it
it darts out
probing and flicking
serpentine in nature
sensory overload ensues
sending shivers down my spine
* a black dot applied with liquid eyeliner to a baby's cheek/sole to ward off the evil eye
