no dessert tonight

she says
no dessert tonight.
we're skipping
that.
and she doesn't
mean
chocolate mousse,
or
cake or pie, or
ice cream,
or berries
soaked
in a sugary syrup
and spilled
across a sponge
cake.
you know exactly
what she means
by no
dessert tonight.
you'll be home
early, with the moon
still up, not
your usual,
sunrise.
