I wonder if when you refer to the women in your life
you still mention me by name
how do I taste?
rusty candy floss / acid petals / tropicana toothache
I fear that I’m no longer
one that melts in your mouth
that I’m just a part of your etcetera
demoted to “one of the others”
renamed as “and the rest of them”
that I’m languishing in a mass grave
amongst your flings and forgettables
your mistakes and unmentionables
my name erased
my significance cancelled
yes I fear that nowadays you spit me out
rather than swallow me whole
like you used to
with pleasure
not so long ago
A poem for day 9 of An Unquiet Mind writing challenge, in response to the prompt ‘Swallow Me Whole’
