‘I am melted’ she said,
sighing to music
like ice-cream?
like cheese?
like chocolate?
I asked her, concerned
”I think like hot fudge syrup,
yes like that”
thoughtfully she replied,
looking in my eyes,
dripping caramel
I’m so glad it’s not like a candle!
I would hate her to burn away and go out
leaving me with no light
especially on a such a magical night
as this
