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.
