a bar of velvet,
chocolate,
sickly sweet-saccharine insomnia
to and fro,
a bouquet of white chocolate roses,
plucked,
una, duo, tria
eyelashes, sugar
papillae noose
angel food bile intumesce
flat upon the throat
esophagus lacerations oneironaut, lecithin chimera
sugar
whimsy, sugar silica
chocolate-mousse-glazed sclera
a rush of hedonic arrhythmia
“Eat them!”
for I am to sleep broiled in umami
