the pastry in the window

i wait for the bakery
to open.

i see behind the window
a new

confection.
a pastry, something 
beautiful
behind the glass.

she's different
by design. elegant

and sweet.
but  i only see one,
no more.

i'd be foolish to let
this moment pass.

i can almost taste her
on my lips,
the cream upon my tongue,

it doesn't matter one bit
that i've had
this feeling before.
