What poem will you carry?
I am taking along a bit of kindness from Danusha Laméris Small Kindnesses.
Taste a Bite of Poetry
after Mark StrandI have been dining on poetry
that tastes like cookies.Someone pressed in a dash
of salty tears, balancing the sweet.Someone topped them with chocolate.
The brown ink stains my fingers,So I carry this verse with me,
eating bit by bit,
filling my wistful soul.
