zippo cracks in tender dark
drop of flame from tendered spark
minutely illuminating her vacant space
the zippers in the freezer
her coldness seems to please her
lonely mustard on the window sill
always loved her always will
rotten apple rancid butter
sour milk severed udder
her bitter love she refused to swallow
my empty head my empty soul my empty heart ill follow
