me at breakfast as she
butters
me a piece
of toast, spreading on a dollop
of blueberry
jam,
that her safe word
when she was single
used to be
blueberry.
i lower the paper just
below
eye level and stare at her.
what?
what did you say?
your safe word was blueberry?
huh?
then she smirks
and walks
away.
