I Should Add Some Poems

I Should Add Some Poems

I should add to my poem collection
I am low on the starch of words.
Don’t you love words?
I do.

Some of them are bitter,
But surely for a sweetness later
That will be complex, and flow
Throughout my tongue.
Or a sort of sour that opens my eyes
And closes my mouth.

And the best of them, I have not tasted
Yet, but they are hidden somewhere
In a woman’s spice cabinet, I think.
I can smell them when it’s windy.
