Ever had heart-break sharper than a biscuit
Within her, the sadness simmers gently
while the fat rises up
the scums on the surface but you didn't skim it off
when your friends fail to notice
that's when friends fall off
rooftops
and pots splatter
stove tops
without comfort
mug shots
life gets lost
But give a girl a little care
the same way you give a meat rub
sweaty grips and tracing skin with fingertips
laced with ginger kisses
followed up by meringue words
gentle sweet and fragile
not to be sustained
till one day
we fix this
and her heart becomes a biscuit
but recipes get repeated
