Double Dip

Double Dip

by Sristi Guduru

I’d let you double dip

Your germs in my queso and salsa

Won’t scare me from dipping my chips in

I’d let you double dip

Like when you dip me when we dance

I trust you; you never let me fall

You ground me.

I’d let you double dip

You’re honey, dipped into my oats

You’re sugar sweet;

You satisfy my sweet tooth

I’d let you double dip

Savor you like churros dipped in chocolate

It’s messy, what I feel

Dripping, lingering, impossible to ignore.

I’d let you double dip

Like when you dip into my heart

I’m scared, but your home is there,

Nowhere else.

So go ahead; double dip,

I’ll share my chips with you.
