scoville measures

feed me
habanero heat
ripe & sevina
red
plucked
fresh
then stirred
tomato broth slow
simmered
chili thick
until
i'm curried well
with the metallic spice
of cu-man-o-gold

then feed me
from your fingers
and measure me

scoville

With Love to The Pie Man

i feel
pink & meringue
slick
with subtle anarchy
stirred
pudding thick inside

of me
your ultimate pie
cream-filled
& white

sweet
with a dollop
of esoteric

icing

Round One
Between The Catholic & The Kharma Bum

she called me
a devil worshiper
and I
called her

an alarmist
