Sugar Water

silver spoon, sugar water
sweetness and structure
lost in a swirling abyss

far removed and achingly so
from days of crystalline boldness
glimmering in the sun

diluted and formless
flowing into countless shapes
powerless against pressure

desperately clinging
with nauseating stickyness
so it’s best to avoid closeness

spineless, wretched
sad derivative
of pearly white sugar cubes
