LXXIII. MR. "AWESOME" _____

i wear pink
like the tones of my flesh;
all sorts i am sweet as all sorts
when i pour your morning coffee;
i am lollipop sweet
like a lick of the lips
where the sugar crystalises on the bottle lid --
your hands skid on the countertop
and pinch my waist
with shrill laughter --
i remember what it is --
crushing the jewels on my cheeks --
what it is to want again.
and it is only feather light,
a captured pupil, a tap on the shoulder,
a hand feeling in my pocket for pens
and a presence by my side --
white paper and your long climbing lines.
