There are many different ways
to eat dark chocolate
I like to let each square
make it's home on my tongue
like to let it's home flood
with coffee and muffled
"oh my godddds"
When trying to decide
whether or not something is worth
crying or apologizing for
I try to scale myself
to the rest of the galaxy
try to remind myself that
having a black hole for a heart
is not courageous
But smiling with chocolate covered teeth
or kissing coffee stained lips
that's pretty brave
to eat dark chocolate
I like to let each square
make it's home on my tongue
like to let it's home flood
with coffee and muffled
"oh my godddds"
When trying to decide
whether or not something is worth
crying or apologizing for
I try to scale myself
to the rest of the galaxy
try to remind myself that
having a black hole for a heart
is not courageous
But smiling with chocolate covered teeth
or kissing coffee stained lips
that's pretty brave
I wrote this poem sitting on the floor of my front porch facing the main road during rush hour while I drank coffee and ate ginger crystallized in dark chocolate watching the sky and having regrets when it suddenly occurred to me that nothing really matters all too much and we should just do what we think we should do.
So I didn’t cry or apologize to anyone that day, but I did hug my dog.
So I didn’t cry or apologize to anyone that day, but I did hug my dog.
