the inevitability of wrinkled bedsheets

SAVORY

you are a piece of melted candy

sprawled onto these cheap white sheets.

you stain the bed with futile attachments and muddled whispers,

but i don't mind cleaning up after you and all our mistakes

i don't mind making things clear for you of what we are

and what we can be.

caramel, i think, is the color

to best describe you.

maybe honey glazed chocolate

or something equally savory.
