Feeding Each Other

Luke Buckham

we found the lowest floor of the forest
pressed against the wet black leaves
and fed each other mushrooms
snapping them off the rug of moss
--remembering indoors pineneedles concrete
kitchen linoleum underneath--
pushing them into each other’s mouths
until our bellies bulged

and then made love, our mouths still filled
with broken mushrooms
