danced on the edge of the baker’s knife
the plot thickened
like chocolate ganache
until it crumbled
tension released
in a shower of shavings
over the already frosted
chapter-layered
cake
hands, poised to crack open the book,
positioned the knife
and sliced deeply
then, like cake devoured,
the story
savored,
swallowed,
digested,
and
imbued
baker and patron,
reader and writer,
danced

I love the glitter stiletto! Lovely choclatey composition.
Thank you, Amitav! It was a fun piece to write, and the stilettos are a lot of fun to wear. They push me past 6′ tall. 😂☺😉
I knew it was your elegant choice! Graceful in high heels! 🙂
On most days. 😂
Have a great week, Amitav!
