Every Goddamned Cake
Every goddamned cake
You bake
I shall speedily take…
Not simply for its sake:
The fragile dreams it does awake!
A shimmering bluish water lake,
Where my unsafe love guesses I make;
Off tearing layers of my personal hatred, every flake
While watched from some metres by Eden’s Snake
I should be able to split into two with divine rake
Resides, on my judgmental tongue
Your cake had never been fake!
