Strawberry Moon

Write about a sweetness you remember by its stain.

I woke up this morning

And cried at the sight

Of your strawberry lipgloss

Blessing my pillow

And I gagged in the shower

Because the only shampoo

I had was your

Strawberry vanilla scent

And at the grocery store

I broke down as I passed strawberries

And a worker had to ask

If I was okay

And I had to lie and say I was

Because she couldn’t see

The stain you left

On me
