Sunlight captured in a jar of honey
refractions crafting
drops of gold
perfectly browned toast,
Holla at that challah!
French toast
melts in your mouth
and takes your mind with it
for a minute.
Mango coladas take me back
to umbrella toothpicks,
ordering Shirley Temples with a wink
and a plain slice with
"extra cheese, please!"
This is childish sophistication
summed up in unexplained foodie quirks.
Initial contact.
Cream swirls in rich coffee
like waves of molten chocolate.
Decadence in color,
delight in sensation.
Strawberries at their peak in the summer sun
a berry-picking smorgasbord
for kids with juice-stained hands.
Milk moustaches,
grapefruit splatters,
peanut butter and jelly with the
crusts cut off
the middle slice of the banana bread
the center brownie
Striving for high living--
treat yourself to it.
