Five minutes alive.
Are you ready to die?
For a moment,
red and white
will be the most
dangerous combination.

Five minutes alive.
Now you are melting
on the tip of her tongue,
where it tastes sweet,
like warm caramel-
sunflower honey.

Five minutes alive.
She picked you
out of all the others,
but your decease
will taste differently,
ice-cold and sweet.
She had been waiting
impatiently
for winter’s arrival.
