Color-covered chocolates
the size of four pearl beads,
melted together.
We're melting together
around a plastic round table,
around a game of Apples to Apples,
in the comfort of my living room.
-----
You fought and struggled,
resisting my wants,
my needs--your own
wants & needs.
I laid you down to
rest next to me.
I woke up upset
to a half dead phone.
-----
Fresh Beta Fish
sort of like a blank,
luke-warm soup,
with the consistency
of a tough sausage.
Except the sausage
consists of eyes and
fins.
