You broke in
Sampled the non pareils,
The licorice whips
You filled yourself
On coconut creams
Penuche
No. I left the door open
We shared mallo bars
Jelly beans
We licked the sugar sprinkles
Traces of caramel
From each other's lips
Ribbons from the empty boxes
We streamed over our ears
Devouring sweets was exhausting
When morning came
You awoke glutted
Satisfied
But like stripes
on a candy cane,
You didn't last
