Vegemite

29 August 2024

Your tongue strikes against my teeth

I utter “O”

Where you break in

Fluxing

Transfusing cartilages into my joints

You give me acts

And visceral satisfaction

I breathe in an air of turbulent sweat

You give me phrasal verbs

You give me life

You give me something I cannot digest

You taste like “Australia”
