Release

A cupful of sugar
for the heartless divine
to coat the plunge
in my cold spine

A mouthful of bread
to stiffle the weak
to mimick the blessed
and torture the weak

A palmful of milk
to ease a burning
in creaming the sense
of nicotine yearning

A dash of ginger
in this tangy world
to feel it burning
underneath boiled

A dallop of cream
to hide it all
this is my release
this is my fall
