Cake Kissed
Cynthia Arrieu-KingHello sponge, sweet map of my hand. Oven quarters--
that black solitary. Hardly a way to cut through things.
Nothing to do: fondly exist, all brisk pleasures
like a nutmeg fume of mood. Too, part of this good
is disproportionate. A fond, if ironic, dream.
In gold cashmere, five brisk measures, a leisure
at other times the better claim, a quiet map:
how you rub the fat in matters. To sit, a hot
dark hour easier to pass as a fix, a correct shipwreck.
Foam risen. Exactly what I mean when I talk this fond
if ironic dream. We let you bake a little. And renounce
grains & membranes to enter a life of kitchens, office
creatures, the unexpressed. Into the words we can bake
a little "a." A cake is kissed a cake. This good wait is.
