Evenstar by Howard Shore

pollen

interesting how

marshmallows taste

(they settle in the)
crevices of your teeth
like mercenaries

sent to tell you
(you like bees)
you think

of getting a mouse
you

would name him colby jack

i wonder why
they talk to you   like that

your heart sticky and wondering
if it's any good

like soggy white dumplings
in porcelain apple bowls

(you love me)
and i love you,

the memory of you (the hope of you)

and the infrequent
gelatinous texts

which let me know that
you exist,

and feed me, sustain me

until the next...
