An Unceremonious Regimen

A lover left me a bag

of spinach leaves

before her flight

to those who mean more

on holidays or any.


Poking through them 

tonight, plucking out

what's started to rot;

salvaging what's able

to be saved and sautéed

I wonder if the gods

do this with men


and which one 

I would be

in this playroom

of clumsy dreamers.
