Pink Peppermint Ice Cream Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

pink peppermint ice cream
my favorite poem among the ice creams
candied cream pink of the infinitessimal

served at a birthday
there should be no further presents.
you are more than sufficient.

rosy in the dish melting and crunchy
you defy all descriptions of deliciousness.
and then my Grandmother

unveils, under the silver cake lid: the epiphany of
pink lemonade cake...
