The Sweet Life Tasting Menu

one - a note on my dresser, three four words in your hand, sliced from the pocket notebook that follows you everywhere

two - the linen pants I picked up for you from that expensive shop in Puerto Vallarta on my last day, loud black and gray paint splash print, call em for a good time

three - Harbin Hot Springs, floating in silence breathing deep, fig trees, the cold hot sky

four - zucchini cooked to translucence, tofu, salt, pepper, capers in a jar biked over and tucked into your fridge while you sleep

five - wondering how many Benjamin Dovers live in the US?

six - olive bread in bed for mornings that can't open without coffee and whispering dove songs

seven - inside your yellow backpack while we bike to the beach to reach sunset a perfectly ripe peach wrapped in napkin to be eaten back and forth bite by bite
