sense memory no. 1

suddenly the sweetness of some fruit

i can't recall. 

memory's mouth models peanut butter, avocado

spread thin onto toasted brown bread

and the saccharine spear implacable 

causes me to heave, breathe heavily 

in hopes of dislodging a pneumonic 

of seeds split and juice spit — an unmistakeable

missing
