Sol 6.1

  1. Tubes of sugar candy,

    white upon the platters.

  2. As though the bowl were a hand, and they

    were its plump fingertips.

  3. They resembled pillars fashioned

    from snow or silver.

  4. They resembled shooting stars that were, in—

    in that gathering—plunging down.

  5. The thirsty drinker's cure

    is a bite from their tips.
