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 jeggingsyou 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
