Cookies and Cream - September 9, 2000

My attention was caught
by the rhythm 
of short hard nibbles
against a dome of white
and as time passed
it became
long, slow licks
along the side,
with each passing
I watch a bright red tongue
drag itself
across the
rapidly melting tip

It is a sweetly
sticky mess
that is made
as the last remnants of ice cream
melt across the fingers.
