i can't say i like the taste
especially—
it’s quite bitter
(rustling sheets, floorboards creaking)
but you (i) much rather prefer
there’s nothing bitter about you

a nespresso with caramel—
no, i don’t see
(kiss on your neck)
the resemblance
(kiss on my shoulder)
sweet, sugar, honey,
(stay the taste—caramel)
i must be broken
but not you (you) are heavenly

(the click of
the door—)

the taste(you —sweet)—
caramel
