|
<p>one of these days in the summer heat<br />
|
|||
|
|
your sweet sugar will rot my teeth<br />
|
|||
|
|
planting a seed inside my chest<br />
|
|||
|
|
and growing a candy cane forest</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>the last I remember of you<br />
|
|||
|
|
your skin felt like peppermint stew<br />
|
|||
|
|
with a dash of cotton candy here and there<br />
|
|||
|
|
leaving finely spun strands everywhere</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>every night for my dessert<br />
|
|||
|
|
you’d melt into me along with the hurt<br />
|
|||
|
|
like you dumped sour worms into my wounds<br />
|
|||
|
|
the chocolate bubbling on the stove will be ready soon</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>your presence won’t disappear from this house<br />
|
|||
|
|
like the licorice stolen by that one mouse<br />
|
|||
|
|
sticky blue handprints left on the walls<br />
|
|||
|
|
elongating as my “lollipop” falls</p>
