Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Just Desserts

when this poem title
is used with "she 
received her..."

it is a
negative
but i'm not

writing about
comeuppance but
about her sweetness

so should she be
a pie or cake or
something

other to call her
yet a pastry all 
the same

now i must admit
that i've given up
coffee and so
the tradition
of ending
a menu
with
a 

cup and
a dessert
doesn't work
for me any more
but the more i know
her i know the more i
need her and the irony 
is she's from Colombia

so

like a train
i cough
coffee
coffee
coffee
building e

nough to steam
milk foam for a 
cappuccino
but for me
those 
days
are

over but
when you
think that
your youth

is spent
or gone 
and went
remembering

i had a baby
tooth until i
was thirty
two or one

but i had
one but
maybe
it was

thirty
three
but no
that don't

seem to agree
with me thinking
that perhaps that
was my sweet tooth

so they
tried to take
her away from
me before she was

to
be
my
me

     lt
       in
          g
dis heart
