[ Text ID:

I've taken every man I've loved out for oysters especially if he's never tried them.

It's hard to explain how eating oysters isn't so much about taste but about the memory of ocean and brine, wet crag and sputter-foam.

How you lift the shell and slurp wave, sargassum, primordial star. Suddenly, the ancient rush of dune and tide. Lungs full of froth.

How you quiver like a drowned god and swallow that gulp of sea, creature made of salt and time and I am asking to be loved like that-with a taste so blue it breaks. ]
