sPiced chOcolate caTastrophe

Chocolate oozes from the pot.

Melting desires, heaving at boiling point

in a restless fit of ecstacy.

Sweetness seethes over the edges,

And the aroma of chilli from the spice-makers palette

rises into the smoke above the mass

of now burnt delight.

The Food of the God's

is reduced to a darkened glory

of cocoa and ashes and

bellowing clouds announcing only catastrophe;

a fitting memorial to the

demise of a masterpiece

of spiced

chocolate

coal.


** note: Theo-bromide is an active ingredient in chocolate that translates as 'food of the gods'. i couldnt resist. not the chocolate, but the reference. the rest of its hardly sweet.

mint memorium

Mint died.
Which means that Lindt is mint-less.
And she says that even Lindt's days are numbered.

They did good together,
that Lindt and Mint.

But nothing is forever.
So.

lindt and mint

cousin fati bought goldfish. im not sure why. anyway so they were meant to be called salt and pepper. apparently.
but then their globular fishbowl cracked. then it broke. and pandemonium ensued. but theyre ok. they now live in the vase from my office. potentially traumatised by the strange space. and when it finally came down to naming them, they became lindt and mint. just seemed happier. i hope they are!
