Ode To My Chocolate Cake
By Juana Almaguer
Brown
Rich, deep, brown,
Like the earth on a spring day
Full of promise.
Each tender bite,
An instant pleasure,
Gratifying, grounding.
The moments slow and
The quiet of the morning
Comes forward.
The earth is just
Starting to wake.
I can hear the birds,
One by one, singing their songs.
I’ll linger here a little longer.
