warm vanilla beckons me exhausted, its guiding, leading.
showing the way to the comfort of warm tejbegríz covered in chocolate,
like hot kakaós csiga even better with the coldest glass of milk, so hot it melts
my heart, while it’s at it the chocolate covered cottage cheese whose alliteration
scares most, but hey, more for me as I sneak past the frosted glass, wearing
my magic cloak sneaking that extra bite, one I’ll soon miss,
especially when home is where the heart is
mine melted in my Nagymama’s
kitchen years
