need a piece
of hard candy,
something sweet
for the taste,
something with
flavor, to rest upon
your tongue,
to savor
its slow melt
between your lips
and gums. some
times you need
some candy to
get you through
the night. not
a bagful,
and gums. some
times you need
some candy to
get you through
the night. not
a bagful,
or box, not a
handful, just one.
handful, just one.

hmmmmm... this is another one of those that isn't about what it's about, isn't it?
it's about hard candy!
well that's one of the cool things about poetry, isn't it - so much of the fun comes from the perspective and interpretation of the reader. sorry for reading into it things that weren't there - nope read it again - still there...
