dark chocolate
"Alienation and loneliness became a cable that stretched hundreds of miles long,
pulled to the breaking point by a gigantic winch”
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage, Haruki Murakami
i am standing at the counter
of a Starbucks
in a Barnes & Noble
i came here to buy
my small acts of happiness
there i see no dark chocolate bars
i used to buy for you at another Starbucks
that absence like the hole
resting in my chest
where you used to be
like a new book or square of dark chocolate
