Spicy Teriyaki Nights
We feasted
solely upon each other
and spicy chicken teriyaki
from the restaurant
a half-block from our
carnal harbor.
Failing to define us,
we acquiesced,
indulging until sated.
Unfortunately,
you filled yourself with me,
leaving me half-starved.
I still miss you,
but despise teriyaki.

Written for dVerse Quadrille Monday prompt, hosted by Lillian, where the safe word is “harbor”.
Did I type “safe word”? My bad. I meant that the word “harbor” had to be included in the 44-word poem.
(But you can use it as a safe word if you like. I won’t judge! I’m not qualified to judge anyway. *wink*)
