Cherry Garcia

I walked away from
a carton of ice cream a few days ago
—Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia.

The taste had turned sour in my mouth,
The little cherry bits freezer-burned and tough.

And I didn’t like the way it sat on my hips.

I just left it sitting on the table to melt,
Taking my spoon and leaving for good.
