The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker
Bittermelon Sugar

Quaff the rubied sangria of life
Leave the chunks unchewed and
Sway between the bitter sweet
Admire the tartness beyond the tawny
pulled beyond the astringency of youth
aflush in the organoleptic orgy, 
the practiced dance of the veteran palate,
sightseeing the joys of the labyrinthian
organs that find inspiration amid the
beautiful blooming of umami life
