Cakes
what can i say
i burnt my fingers
making cakes
mirrors that only break
women i loved
women that i took
and then wrote a book
what can i say
making cakes
stirring the mix
making marzipan bricks
i burnt my toes
swam the waves
and lost the day
what can i say
making cakes
what comes can be fate
James Garratt – December 2005
