shimon weinroth - Midnight Snacks

Are accompanied by walking the floors
Opening and closing doors
To cupboards drawers and refrigerators.
Drooling whims of appetite

Swimming in saliva of expectations
The search is on
Adrenalin of dreams, propel the midnight stroller

To seek and remember
What little tidbits, sweets and meats
Rolls and cakes, hidden or stocked away
Which whiskeys and wines and soda pop
Would fit the treat

It's not only the noise of rummaging about
The tinkling of cutlery or the banging of a stray closet
That informs the household

Something is alight, stirs the cat meowing, dog barking
The lights go on and others come to dine and snack
Provoked are ghosts that sream about

Heralding gnawing delights
Of feeds feeding and that part of eating
So joyful and fulfilling in more ways than one
