Cacao Connoisseur’s Club Liner Notes
Between my forefinger
and thumb the corner
fractures with a soft
snap. My tongue explodes
in the tart sweetness of
blackberries plucked fresh
from thorny canes.Tannins gather in my cheek;
images of dark berries,
toasted walnuts slowly
permeating.A faint note of licorice
lingers long.
