I am (a poem)

Uncategorized | 3 comments

 

I am the
mouse

who climbed
up the side

of the milk
pail, intending

only to take
a sip. 

Leaning, I
slipped,

and landed
in a sea

of creamy
white.

I am
drowning now

in this
moment

of
sweetness.

There is no
option

left, but to
surrender

to its
delight.
