Poem
cabbage head
when love was a dinner
you pushed me aside
voraciously consuming the main dish
four years of dinners
I sat alone waiting
for a little butter and salt
you opened me up and
peeled back fresh layers
knowing I was good for you
but too afraid to bite
I was left to the side
getting cold
and wilting
until
I was
no longer
my original shape

geek.
