a fourteen-line poem on molasses

1. cold butter

2. grandma’s molasses

3. on white toast

4. hard yellow chunks

5. black puddles

6. not mixing

7. a bittersweet taste

8. sound of grandma chewing

9. the crunch inside my mouth

10. nothing like grape jelly

11. like something older

12. harsher, like

13. her wheelchair, like

14. all she doesn’t say
