Pavlova in the Kitchen

It didn't come with a blow,
Not really even a murmur.
It was sunny that day,
Early spring, a cold wind
And your voice singing
Urging me on to the final,
A real last waltz moment.

There wasn't even that
Much shouting, no obscenities,
It could have been worse,
I think we just blew the occasion
The tie on your tux was undone
And the spaghetti straps on my dress
Well, I think they could have
Been the shoe laces, I forgot to knot
And the lie of lace creased.

No, it was an ordinary day,
weather typical for the time of year,
I thought my hair needed a cut,
You'd missed a bit when you shaved.
I slaved in the kitchen over pavlova
And then it was over
It was over.

SO fitting: a Pavlova is mostly air in sweet suspension anyway..
and when the air moves with a cold wind, the result is gooey pancake.
Brilliant concoction...kitchen over and out.. Teddy

It is so nice to be human and able to start afresh with a big picture of of past events coming into focus.:-)
A pleasure to read.

This poses something very significant against something very mundane, and the result is very poignant.
