Chocolate Cherry Cake - September 15, 2000

It's a sweet dark glaze
that slowly covers
the porous cake -
filling every
nook and cranny,
wending their way
between the layer of cherries
that lay snug between
thick 
heavy
slabs
of chocolate cake.

The rich scent
wafts along the current
as eyes watch
avidly
that 
first
bite
that is followed
by
another...
slowly.
