My Cake Head

My cake head with frosting
The covering of sugar hiding shameful truth

My cake head with trimmings
Pretty dress-up lace inspired by others

My cake head with candles
Dangerous adornments I acquired with age

My cake head with layers
Thick and thin the padded internals

My cake head with ice cream
Frigidly unable to melt this structure

My cake head with pastry
My clogged arteries seem to be spreading

My cake head with holes
Instant gratification and then I am gone
