Cherry-pit pies are like eating dragon bones, as to
be expected of one taught to
never cook with a fairy tale omnibus,

safer to love a beast than to open up to
strangers, precise butchers cutting hearts
open on a kitchen table;

I love you like salt, preach obedient daughters, omitting
the ease to mix dream with wake
or confuse salt with sugar.

-Margaryta
