Chocolate - Jason

Dream of Chocolate

scent of cocoa
scent of dream
dream of flavor
dream of melt
melt in bowl
melt over simmer
simmer over water
simmer and stir
stir the pieces
stir and let stand
stand and inhale
stand within yourself and draw the cream
cream over ice
cream to beat
beat into shape
beat into peaks
peaks of snow
peaks you whip
whip the egg
whip to firm
firm with sugar
firm with whisk
whisk in joy
whisk the rain streaked sadness away
away from kitchen
away and prepare
prepare pool of Hershey’s
prepare to fold
fold in egg whites
fold all at once
once with hope
once complete
complete with whipped cream
complete just enough
enough stirred airy
enough you can feel the bubbles of sweet burst
burst as a vision
burst from cover
cover the mousse
cover and chill
chill for one hour
chill until set
set out goblets
set to fill
fill with dessert
fill with Chocolate
chocolate as art
chocolate in layers as seasons of life
life...
art...
