#meringue
Remember when you licked the beaters
As your mum baked cakes?
Nostalgia of innocence teeters,
Recaptured on my lips
Today, after making meringue
For a raspberry daquise.
Fabulously, fruity favourite, heart-sang,
Laughing afterwards as I notice a leftover moustache.

Golden, crisp, buttery base
cups the lemon curd,
creamy, zesty-sweet and rich
silken on my tongue
Fluffy flower-crown
tips soft-brown
Hmm!

The leading dirty-hand patisserie
now walks to the sink, warm water wets
their hands. After pouring soap, he
rubs the front, back, interlocked
fingers, then thumbs, entwined
fingers and lastly
the nails before
the full rinse;
hands now
clean

She has a tough exterior
Yet, sweet and fluffy underneath
I'd never realised before
That's a blueprint for breaking teeth

Gleaming white meringue,
What made me buy it?
It's not part of my diet,
I'm inclined to bite it,
But I'm trying to fight it!
My conscience's view of it:-
Sugary,
Sticky,
Synthetic,
Sickly.
My stomach's view of it:-
Scrumptious,
Salivatating,
Seductive,
Sensepulsing.
Actually:-
It's Inanimate,
It's Inconsequential,
It's Inanity
Is Innate.
In ...
Ate ...
Too ...
Late ...
