Day Four
Writing Practice
We Friends.
full up on chocolate cake and coffee;
jokes stuck between lips
humming,
“Nah. Nah. Nah. That one staying right here.”
We friends
sharp and edgy,
soft and tender;
holding
mouthfuls of
dread and joy
while breakfasting on
chocolate cake and coffee
We friends
outrageously loud
hopelessly silent
holding the love
between disparities
while lunching on
chocolate cake and coffee
We friends
gorgeously rebellious
strutting giant portions
of sweetness
caught between a laugh and a gloom
while suppering on
chocolate cake and coffee
We friends
holding whispered riddles
sealed between
secrets;
the good, the brave, the wretched;
murmuring antidotes
of bliss and rage
sorrow and love
dread and joy
while dreaming on
chocolate cake and coffee
