Strawberries and smiles,
Chocolate and tears.
Sleepy dust wiped
Distractedly.
Feet pad quietly,
Slowly,
Up the stairs.
Cupboards open,
Spoons clank against the sides of the bowl.
The movie’s gentle grip frustrated as
Stomachs groan and
Speak plaintively.
Spoons lifted,
Whipped cream
Shoots erratically into the bowl.
Container dangerously low
We greet dinner
Hardly enough for one more bowl.
