Beautifully folded salmon sweater
Cashmere sleeves and slouching turtleneck
I want to slide inside
and feel the hairs on my arms
stand on end
Silver threads and white cotton
spilling from the seams
Japanese pink ginger
toffee and coffee taffy
Velveteen ear of a baby deer
Wrap around me like a ball python
swallow me whole
like a blind baby mouse
cinnamon in the swings
sour peach candy rings
Sweet surprise
She’s open wide.
I follow like a moth to the bulb to fry.
