Jerk Chicken

inspired by R.A.M

bitter
sweet
tasty treat
thick savory
slab of meat

spicy
attack
brings tears
to my eyes
how can I love
what makes me
cry

slide
from
side to side
saucy
secrets
hid inside
you

chicken
yellow bellied
afraid
that I love you
too much
warmth
from your touch
to my lips

fatty
to my hips
fills me
but you
can not
sustain me
warp me
too heavy
for my heart

hurt me
pain
in my chest
must be
a clog
in the artery
can not
digest you
confess you
make me
a mess

name
never
so fitting
for a human
you are purely
a jerk
a chicken

and I love you
