A Poem for Day 7

I wrote this today...Jon Sands is writing a poem everyday for National Poetry month and after read his poem "I Win" I got inspired.

Apple Cream Cheese                                             

Don’t worry about the fact that you

are apple

and she is cream cheese.

It is apples that snap in-between teeth,

while the other

just sinks

then melts–

Is there less satisfaction?

 

The last straw could be

in a drink with

the little umbrella

sinking in sand behind

windows

you never touched

never opened

never considered.

 

Contemplation wants

us to find the divine.

Does it hide in pastries

of apple?

of cream cheese?

Or does the width of devotion

never make one choose?

Wait, 

and watch ingredients stir together 

by your own hand 

to a consistency

of anticipation.
