This morning
I made a cake
from dust and ashes
to see how it would taste.
Would it be harsh
or honeyed?
Would it coat
my lips with memory?
Licked and swallowed,
would it
fill up my belly
to curb the ravenous?
Or would it catch
inside my throat
mask words and breath
in sweet, sweet silence?
Really nice,Jen. I enjoyed this one a lot.
There was so much serendipity in that one! Glad you liked it!
