Friendship In the Fall
Friendship in the Fall
Maple leaves lime yellow,
see through claret red
paved the way and led us to conversations of losing all our teeth
but still bleating for cake.
Cake as creamy as the
lusty browns and chiccy chocolate hues
that line a wavy iced canal.
We gum grimace at the thought of losing teeth.
Reflecting each others
squinting eyes and mashing gnashers.
Leaves fall into wreaths
around our feet beneath the lashings
of crazy fondant marzipan,
there is a plan.
Of two aging women still dynamic in the falling Fall.
A cake made in the Autumn of our decades warmed with laughter of friendship tears amidst the swirling leaves of future years.
