PotatoSalad

I ache I yearn 
but I also remember 
and maybe it’s too
soon because the remembering 
still casts long shadows 
on what I desire
It’s like that time 
that I craved potato 
salad so much so 
that I ate bowl
after bowl type after 
type helping after helping 
And now I can’t 
stand even looking at 
potato salad without wretching
So when I look 
at you I don’t 
see you I’m sorry 
but I don’t all
I still see is
potato salad just more 
and more potato salad
