I stumble with an empty basket and list of half written poems,
Through aisles and adjectives,
Picking up a punnet of puns,
A sonnet of strawberries, but not before kissing each one and
biting the red flesh.
I’m afraid the delicatessen isn’t looking very delicate at all today,
My unmade bed of writing strewn along the counter like a cheap woman’s perfumed sheets,
Hiding a badly written sentence.

…And I hug my son so deeply that I press him into my chest…

I wrap both of my arms around him, and hold him, and breathe him in…

And carves into the ocean, and you know you can never stick it back.
