How fitting it is
that it is comestibles
you send me...
A many sweet and salty mess
packaged,
Sent airy to me, in lieu of you,
A fattening ambassador of your
affections,
To open your message elicits
excited, grins, giddy
To get my fingers around
your goods
And greedy, to consume your
sympathies
Is to relive your absence
And my abuse
For what goes in so sweetly
comes out foul
Through my insides,
my reckless avarice
...Knowing that in the end,
again,
All I'm left with is an
empty box,
And a sugar crash.
