Sweet Tooth

by Bradd Howard

dandelion Jesus
buttercup Virgin
Rose-Mary
candy coated carmelized crucifiction
popcorn persecution
martyrdom of the marzipan Magdalene covered in marshmallow creme.

shoulders undulating,
rolling.
freckles swimming in puddles of saccharine sweetness
glucose induced hysteria.

sweating but remembering a dream
of garter belts, stockings and ballet slippers
of snake skin, crocodile eyes, and a pout.

cream lined coffee flavored nonsense is all you gave me. (and a cavity.)

Author's Note: ummm... there you go Cristy... just an experiment... it's hard to get the mind to go a different direction... you know? (licking gumdrops from between shoulder blades)
