This week’s CHBM Collaboration topic is ice cream. I’m a little late, but I’m doing it anyway.
Almost an Ode to Ben and Jerry
Happiness
packaged in
ecstasy. And orgasmic
flavors fill empty
crevices of
hurt and celebration.
Pretzels and nuts;
hugs and kisses;
chocolate and vanilla
and strawberry
love, allow me
to drift away
even if just for
seven minutes.
Consumption.
Ingestion.
Deflection.
Temporary heartache.
Until I reload.
My spoon.
My soul.
