Dreams of Gelato Breakfast
In the briskness of morning,
the sun shines
over a cramped square
in Firenze Italia.
The beginning of day,
Sustenance spelled gelato.
the treat, too beautiful to consume
raspberry and pistachio
chocolate and hazelnut colored mounds,
stacked precariously
one on top of another
Threatening to slide away.
wind bullying those mounds.
As we
devour the scoops of crystallized dreams
melting around the cone.
Jealous crowds begin to gather
to buy their own
breakfast of dreams.
