Cocoa Ghazal

Metaphor: my skin and my hair taste like cocoa.
Real life: grandparents kiss under trees heavy with cocoa.

As girls, we’d creak down the steep Dutch stairs,
return with mugs bursting with creamy hot cocoa.

not even a story needed, just a snippet of headline
finds you scrubbing a little harder with something you shouldn’t
