Fudge Brownie Cheesecake... - May 27, 2000

The slow dribble
drips carefully
and we are watching
in near-captive
fascination.

In a pool of white,
the dark chocolate lies
in swirls and shimmering
lights.

As you slice away at
the mound of white,
it slowly melts
along the edge...

The slow descent
of light ice cream
and dark chocolate
draws our attention
away from that
intensely red cherry
that lay nestled 
in the cradle
of white cream.

A short lick
and a white moustache
is all that is left.

... to Lurker #1, who travelled a thousand
miles and for whom I write this pome.
