You

 

 spread your soft butter

smooth, from the blade,

over the rough of the

lightly burned bread.

 

Shining, glistening, teasing

                           in the morning.

 

Until, at last, you see his

                           heart explode

in a partly filled jar

of strawberry jam.

 

Unable to see through

the glass covered

globules of sweetened despair;

                           an abortion.

 

Still life,

                           to you.
