SUGAR CUBE by C. Cimmone
In the beginning
he rested carefully-
compressed crystals
of continuity
As time went on
his corners began to round-
screaming at me
for not knowing
the size
of my ring finger
Once dropped in
he began to dissolve:
His top caved in
He broke in half
Now a puddle
of crème liquor;
A concoction
hard to gather
A sticky mess
dripping at my
Wedding band.
