“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
weathered lark
