Map to my Heart
I've drawn the hills and mountains to the highest
level of elation with Ghanaian dark-chocolate.
I've created the oceans using a blue grounded jaw-breaker,
which I got in place of a lollipop;
my uncle bought it on a moonless night.
I've created the lush
forests and jungles using an expired green food-coloring –
my ex yelled at me for trying
to kill her. I need more bread crumbs to create the desert.
