10/22/20 - turnip man

37 5 1
                                    


you were the 
turnip
in my soup

hiding your
colors
in plain sight

stripped and new

blending in
with 
potato-men

it wasn't until
you touched
my mouth

only then

could I taste the
bitterness
on my tongue

taste
your bitterness
all the way
in
