The Cake
The cake, as I take to my mouth, crumbles The cake, you baked, yesterage The cake, which rose, as we stood, touched, talked The cake, which browned, as we relaxed in the bath The cake making things, piled, waiting for a cleaning hand The cake of life, we threw together, stired, set The cake of feelings, now swirling, dark The cake - a cocktail, a bar can never mix The cake of longing, loss, sorrow, love The cake, your cake, you gave, half, for my way The cake, iced, with your sweetness The cake, my last, symbol of you, of us The cake, each crumb, a wantingness The cake, each crumb, tears
