I ponder over Summer’s brightest day
While sitting here on soft but stony sands
Feverishly writing words I can’t say
And hoping that someday somewhere, it lands.
***
Lands in the hands of who I used to know
To mark the very moment that we cried,
Cried tears of joy from all of our sorrow
That had been swept away at our collide.
***
This collision tasted sweet as ice cream
That we licked from the dripping chocolate cone
As the light of your eyes glisten and beam,
Knowing that I no longer am alone.
***
Like we’ve laid in our harmonious silence,
These secret words shall share our beautiful alliance.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
