Coming Home by Lizz Wright

peanut butter

i will
write you unnecessary letters

until you love me again.

mad-ly but
truly deeply i say
i

might have jumbled things
up, but anyway

we call truce. jinx.
things you say
are magnified   they

increase the cat-like span
of     my life

and i want

you to know
what it means  to me

to wake up

with half
a sphere in my hands,

desperately longing
for you (to be)

the other side. like toast.

we can put us together.

love is like
strawberry jelly.

things get sticky,

and sweet.
