different moments today
i thought could be
the contents of the day's poesy

but then i went downstairs 
to refill my tea
before writing this
saw the new kaya i bought
spooned some on a piece of soda bread with an "eat me" post it on top
dribbled some tahini over
for an adult pb&j
took a bite

and froze

first
the taste 
brings in cold crisp early winter
me in my soft jeggings
you had tried on sans underwear
cold crips early winter
but a warmth on my body from
touching it to yours

raisins
i didn't like
in hearty bread
but somehow tasted nice with the drizzle

a plate
full
four pieces of toast 
cut into square pieces 
to be shared 
by you and me
sitting half in 
the sheets 
of your bed

i exhale, unfreeze

second
the ache
it is not now

stomach closes,
despair close

third
inhale
recovery? you? the strong part of my spirit? goodness? something soothes my heart
i send love to you
continue to chew
continue to breathe

fourth
write
neck burns
wait

fifth
continue to type
