Tonight's Poet Corner: Everything Will Be Fine

Everything Will Be Fine

by Belinda Roddie

peachy keen

like a dream

seamless, buttons

stitched

seamlessly

fine and dandy

sweet as candy

sour, too

and bitter

dark chocolate

bitter

you held my hand

through a tiny window

as I stood outside

mosquitos in my hair

mosquitos

tasting me

sweet as candy

peaches and cream

was this little fling

syrupy, cloying

sticking in my craw

molasses

all the way down

everything

will completely

and totally work out

as soon as they don't

stab us to see

if we really bleed

sugar bliss

and whipping cream
