Cups a plenty
Eating feelings
The orange packaging jumps out right away,
Serrated edges hide a blissful melt,
A creamy center, makes it all okay.
With every bite, upset begins to grey,
The black paper cradles dreams, thought and felt,
The orange packaging jumps out right away.
-
Perfect mash of flavours, a melodic play,
Peanut butter and chocolate fill where emptiness dwelt,
A creamy centre, makes it all okay.
-
Grab fleeting moments, heal my day,
Observe my bulging, wrapper-made belt,
In orange packaging, they softly lay.
-
All this time dependable, they never stray,
Each cup a friend, catharsis dealt,
A creamy center, makes it all okay.
Though times have changed, and we forget to play,
The healing duo, for every bruise and welt,
The orange packaging jumps out right away
A creamy center, makes it all okay.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

peanut butter cups? I like the dark choc ones!! Yum (even if I misunderstood, which I don't think I did, it sounds yummy).
