truth buried within a cookbook

  • Add a little bit of truth in the mix
  • Bury it in cups of sentences
  • A pinch of darkness
  • Stir in that liter of death, himself
  • Teaspoon of loneliness
  • Knead together the memories of the last twelve years
  • Drain out home because you can't be there anymore
  • Bake it in that oven of optimism
  • Sprinkle on the blackest sunshine, because the sun will never set
  • And finally, cut a piece of truth and enjoy what you will never know

    But when you try,

    The light flickers again in the bathroom
