Analysis of Salted Brûlée
Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)
Love was silk
smooth as velvet
a story so pretty
Until it wasn’t
quick change
pretty to rotten
Rotten to wounded
saliva salted wounds
fleshy vulnerabilities exposed
Exploited as you save
defiled reputation
only worthy in your eyes
Your as worthy
as the worm
worthy to dirt
