The best cheese

Today I took a piece of silver
which then took me beyond my wildest-
beside the most beautiful creature-
half bull, half monkey.
We played and stared at each other
until I awoke from the dream alone
to find myself licking sorbet.
This monkey-business was exactly
what I have always needed-
soft, rough,
weak, tough,
breath-taking.
But it wasn't enough because
I don't speak enough "Bunkey"
to express myself in that tongue.
At least not yet.
So I kiss instead, hoping
my princess will feel it from
her tower that keeps her chained
until we speak together without fear
of being caught frolicking in a Concorde.
