Madrigal F.
Bittersweet
Aniseed tea, butterscotch, blackcurrants
felt more humble on our lips
when they were handed out at funerals.
We were laying like grass stalks
encased by our halo hair,
the air offering us no words of solace
Just chewing..
The Sun on our lips
omitting a final darkness,
and we swallowed it down.
Every morsel tasted different..
They called out my name,
but I wanted to watch the clouds part.
