WHY 13 TOPS MY WEDDING CAKE

A cherubim approaches the celebratory podium,
a fifteen tier cake in her congratulatory hands.

I savor sunshine - its voracious heat
as I drizzle sweet lemonade
on my dehydrated tongue.

I dip my toes into the fondant
of lemon afternoon. You’ll find me
wading in the aquamarine swoon.

My coral-colored swimsuit, one piece
tease of a...

Indeed, a strange wedding cake!
This is real strange, I must say.

Sausage or suya* ?


Sausage or suya ?Give me the latter;
The craft of maisuya* is grand
He cleans guts like a housesitter,
Weaves all like caterer’s fondant

To choose my wedding cake
I love anything to do with words
So my decision was easy to make

And they had lots of styles
But I had my heart...

Maple leaves lime yellow, 
see through claret red

 but still bleating for cake.

 Cake as creamy as the

Do I feel you?
Peaceful,
Like drowning in cloud,
Absorbing my screams until I can scream no longer.

Do I hear you?
Hope,
Speaking out to me every day,
Telling me to breathe, telling me to hope.

Do I see you?
Sweetness,
Lacy fondant in...

Unless I'm holding true
if I'm not loving on cue
I cannot function
I lie here with conjunction
woe I cannot fight this

your words I'm glued to...
