The Perfect End
Today My Spumoni Tastes A Little Salty

Today my spumoni tastes a little salty
At first it was sweet
The creamy chocolate married divinely
With the fruity cherry
Punctuated perfectly with the swirl
Of nutty pistachio
Comfortably wrapping around my taste buds
Like a hug from an old friend
Chasing down long forgotten memories
Of eating here with Dad
Stuffed with sourdough and creamy pesto dressing
Mizithra and Lasagna
But always saving just enough room for
The perfect end
But today, two bites in, everything changed
The bowl became blurry
Overlaid with bitter-sweet visions
Of years gone past
And my ice cream started to taste
Just a little salty
