The Dance - September 19, 2000

Along a smooth layer of gold,
I watch the sliver of dark brown
sinuously play,
wending itself
against two edges that 
push
the chocolate slowly
against itself.

The swirling dance
of dark against light
ends only
as I watch the knife
descend against
the edge -
only to stop
for one
timeless moment
as the world
stops
to breathe...
and slice once more.
