Dirty Sugar
My mind has a way
of sprinkling memories with sugar,
candying them in a pleasant shell,
taking the experiences most lacking
and drizzling them with honey,
disguising the dryness
with rich, decadent kindness
that melts on my tongue,
easy to swallow,
easy to digest,
causing me to crave them
again and again,
longing for the grainy texture
I think to be sugar,
but know to be dirt.
