353/365

a stale chocolate eclair
just before midnight
washed down by cold sparkling
water straight from the bottle.

a tiny white head zit
on your lower eyelid
causing swelling and irritation.

sizzling mushroom fajitas
for dinner
two margaritas
large and on the rocks
a beer at the art house movie
with friends. a gentle
walk to the taxi.

a ruptured taste bud
on the tongue making
it challenging to pry
that piece of tortilla chip
from the hole in your molar.

a cool breeze
in the tropical heat.

another sunday night:
this one on the
forty seventh december
of your life.
