Aftertaste

In the streak of light,

I rub the sweetest sour.

It’s tangy, and it lingers.

 

Not in the beginning,

nor at the end.

It is stuck in the state of middle.

 

I try to claw it out.

Rolling it onto different texture,

but it remains to be a burning sensation.

One that could be more on ‘morrow.
