Miss Confection

I’ve eaten your words
of vanilla and saffron,
suffered the blackened pod,
the crimson stigma
pressed into double-edge
razorblade wafers.

I swallowed macaroons
and marzipan swine,
shredded coconut figments
wrapped in raw pastry regret.

Cyanide rumors whispered
over embittered almonds
are your toxic epistles,
their message deficient.

Unsavory is the confection
fabricated with honeyed contempt,
sour cherry pies in disguise,
meted out half-baked.

Ms. Confection

I’ve eaten your words
of vanilla and saffron,
pilfered from extracts
of orchid and crocus,

suffered the blackened pod
and crimson stigma
you pressed into suspicious
razor-blade wafers.

I swallowed macaroons
and marzipan swine,
shredded coconut figments
of raw pastry regrets.

Cyanide rumors whispered
over embittered almonds
are your cloying toxic epistles,
their message deficient.

Unsavory is the confection
fabricated with honeyed contempt,
mince word pies in disguise
meted out half-baked.
