The Pain Sweet

Existentially you think you know me having eaten a slice of my mind delicious you think the bubbling froth of this poetry peppered with sprinkles of rising undertones the sugar depth charged unstirred, yet touch the lip of my cup you’d feel the burn the tongue means to speak unhoneyed the kiss stings the pain swollen and sweet Candide Diderot.

Thank you. I'm considering burning a tattoo into my skin. Psalm 118:24. At that place, just above the heart.
