Getting the Scoop

she turned 
her back to
me while we
were sleeping

i got closer trying 
to spoon her soft
chocolate ice
cream not

noticing she
was a dollop
on a cone of
silence

Growing up watching the tv show "Get Smart"; they had a cone of silence where they could "talk" privately lol. Thanks Gregory.
