a sinister hand
seeks solace
concealed within
tiny compartments
no one knows
what\’s been
fed properly
or with what?
hmm, a decade
and handful of years
since we first fell in love
do you remember
that cozy night?
distilled emotion
to a location
that\’s consistently
lost & delirious
your knowledge
of what hid in my drawers
eluded distance from
the witching hour
until the ache
from within my sweet
tooth demanded
in her loudest voice
“CANDY!”
i\’m sure my sudden
movements made
you a slight
anxious —
nevertheless
when you caught
a glimpse
of what i\’d placed
inside of my hand
you laughed
so hard
all trepidation
melted with the freshly
opened box
of mike & ike\’s
original fruit
flavoured
delicacy
perfect
for sharing…
