Sprig
Should the beast within you
wish to devour me alive
I shall garnish myself
with only parsley.

Author's Note
I meant the sprig of parsley as simply a "Here I am, ready to be ravaged by your primal self" thing, not an edibles thing, but parsley certainly would be a healthy alternative to the usual sugary stuff.

Some beasts take the time to savor the flavor. Other beasts prefer the roughness of devouring. I like both types.

Dear PD,
You saucy minx, you! Parsley you say…good to know. I liked the edgy in this write. Reminds me it’s good to shake things up. H🌷

No dill? Fresh dill is nice on human flesh. Great poem. Cool concept!

I LOVE dill. I've been making a Mediterranean potato salad, with olive oil and lots of dill that is soooo good. I'm going to go with never say never to your suggestion.

Parsley…huh.
And here I am always covering myself in creaminess (pudding, whipped cream and fruit, icing and the like). Good to know.

I meant it just as a here I am, ready and waiting statement, not a literal eat food off of me thing, but it's all good.

Oh, now I feel foolish…
Sorry about that.
I’m usually all about literal. Thanks for explaining.

Don't feel foolish! Your interpretation was perfectly reasonable. I just had a different, hazy vision in mind.
