|
||
<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>
