Dessert
by Bruce Kramer

Self inflicted eternalized bitterness
directed outwards
through your venom filled piss and vinegar
character
deflates me.
I am sinking though the
thick sluggish liquid that was once us.
Drifting out of our bed
floating down past all that has passed
through the swirling veins of dinners and dancing,
by that 2am cigarette and shower,
near organelle globules of fruits in gelatinous goblet suspension:
cherry secrets shares whispered as I lost myself in you
and lime thoughts tod in verse.
Suspended I find myself amongst all of this, gelatinized through
your departure
until I am spooned out
only to be chewed up by someone else.
