resonant
rich deep round
ringing full booming
mellifluous melodious
vibrant clear mellow
Full-toned full-bodied
resounding reverberations
BELL

fresh meat
dripping blood
skin peeled back
spiced and salted
fried in butter
until crisply rendered

heaven knocks at my door
begging for a taste

go to hell
I reply
it’s where I got the recipe.

black dust settling
over every surface
feel it gathering
down inside your lungs

coughing
hacking
gasping

each breath incomplete
carbonated
effervescence
death inside your pores.

gathering dust
behind glass doors
sparkling trinkets
made from memories
I can’t let go

multi-grain
dark molasses
toasted crisp
and forgotten

savory crunch
popping crumbs
across floral
linen sheets

coffee black
your kindness
in bringing
me breakfast

sun in eyes
grand start
what can I
offer you?
