lemon cake into the night

when i see

her coming up the street

with

a sheet cake

in her hands.

i get out the milk.

two glasses,

two forks

and a plate.

it used

to be martinis all

night

and music.

and now it's lemon

cake,

with a scoop of vanilla

ice cream.

but yes,

we were wild once.

we were young and

crazy

and we danced

and made

love

long into the night.

now here's the knife,

you cut.
