Crumbs

This is what I woke up with this morning.  The woman who asked Jesus to heal her daughter, only to be called a dog by him, comes to mind.  She had the presence of mind to tell Jesus that even the dogs got the crumbs under the table.  Little did she know that under that table was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for her and her daughter, and beyond.  Well beyond.

I dreamed I was in charge

Of the meal.

For dessert

I cut the sheet cake,

Chocolate with chocolate frosting,

Just enough pieces

For everyone present.

When it came my turn

For cake,

There was a sliver left,

Only crumbs.

It was a puzzle.

I was sure I had counted

Exactly right.

Then I saw

Two full pieces

On the floor

Under the table.

Chocolate with chocolate frosting.

Enough for me

And someone I have yet

To meet.
