Betty Crocker Can Shove It

I sealed the mold
filled with liquid you
with a simple meeting by the pond

placed behind the loudest kettle
I simmered jealousy and bubbled disappointment
where’s the recipe card for second place?

a full year later
the egg timer sounds in bitter celebration
I’ve lost your independent freckles and your crooked teeth

he is the mold and you have been molded
and I am lost among the side dishes
on the dinner table of relationships
