Black Medicine
black medicine is first nations expression for coffee  

O ritual of lips and tongue,

O juju of shiny caffeine amulet,

 you open veins like lover’s thighs,

burnt caramel, chocolate surprise,

espresso boy I crave you/want you/need you

come palpitate, elucidate, come enervate me,

fire brain synapse, Perseid shower me, body/mind,

spread java jive from tip to tip, from side to side

make me feel

alive     alive      alive

gotta have

gotta have

gotta have

you morning, noon and night

lying down, standing up,

anywhere anytime

addiction, celebration, you’re my hot, wet rite,

fill my thirsty cup, with all the drops you’ve got

sweet man, liquid lover,

you’re my daily hit,

 you’re it baby

let me drink you up

O sweet you

you're my black medicine.

 ahhhhhhh
