With lips that challenge the
reddest of wines
she drank from the cup that was offered, without question
it was sweet. Sickly sweet and dark
dark sugar, the colour of ***
drips from her mouth,
she wipes off the evidence with a snide smile,
a knowing scorn. Almonds
ground up and mixed into marzipan
covering cakes, full of plump fruits soaked in brandy
take a slice. You have your cake now
eat it.
