Short Granulated Poems

Twinkle white powdered Frozen dew
Specs of granulated salt sweetened
Suspended fallen crushed sugar cubes
-Frozen drops rain dots leaping

Circuits of joy, a digital sunrise, bloom,
Homographic hues, escaping a granulated room,
Electric laughter, like a synthwave's bright cascade,
Radiant as neon signs, your spirit unafraid.
Year after year, a story, a code you rewrite,
Luminous dreams, taking flight in the virtual night.

cup me in some sweet condolences 
leave me dusted in saccharin 
after honey licks

there on your lips
autumn burst fruits
and
bruises

my blush of knowing
too much
my rush of tasting
enough
to be hooked on your liqueur 

lips. granulated resistance 
spent.
echo.
fullness empties,
echo.
post
coitus tristesse,
echo

sugar the fruits'
echo...

Stretched to elasticity’s extreme…
nothing more to give; 
like an overturned cup,
the nectar drained and dried 
to granulated etchings on the rim.

What was that said
about a heart filled to the brim,
running over with love’s treasures?

A bitter heart leaks away
till after time and after tears,
grief’s blank mosaic tiles the floor,
and the steps of all who enter
echo in the dark.
