FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

sifting thoughts
like flour
takes time

putting the yeast
making the dough rise
takes time

the smell of bread
spreading
the smell of wheat
in the fields
takes time

savoring the
slice of bread
beside coffee
aroma rising to
the nose
then to the brain
thoughts of love
and memories of
past loves
and loving more
and more than
we can give
we wish that there
is more time

takes more time
than we ever
wanted

till it lasts
