cake

I bake my sorrows into layers of cake.

your soul in every grain of sugar

sensual extract, sifting

tears like flower

the mixture like the love

that had finally found me

the kiss of your hands and mouth

stuck in my soul like milk and eggs

bringing all to one

layer cakes cream cakes

upside down cakes pound cakes

all sweet like the taste of your passion

I eat each with new fervor

chocolate strawberry vanilla pineapple

sweet and sticky

running down the length of my chin

eating

trying to hold on to you

I’m fat with despair.
