Cupcake

Do you ever just want to write something delicious? Something simple and sweet and... perhaps a little naughty? Something, let's say, not on your diet.

Or maybe you don't want to write it. Maybe you want to say it. You want to sit across the table from someone and swirl the frosting on. Sprinkle on some bits of sugar. Watch as the spring-hued sweets fall across the bed of icing, some of them toppling off onto the tablecloth. Then you'd take a step back and store it in your mind--the colors, the textures, the contrasts. Before you moisten the soft pad of your thumb, press it down onto the sprinkles, make them stick. Lift it to your mouth.

What you do next is up to you.

A mental snapshot... a tiny taste... pricelessly delicious teases.
But not a substitute for the whole thing.
