Midnight Snack

Post by chonsigirl »

between giggles under the covers,

crawling from under covered warmth

onto hands and knees,

reaching out a hand

to find the cold wall

to guide them forward-

grabbing the implement

of desecration off the desk,

scattering last night’s homework

in a paper trail

they will pick up tomorrow,

if they live that long

flannelled assailants

slowly meandering between cat,

blocking their pathway

towards dim light

at end of hallway,

peering behind cabinets

to make sure their prey was there,

enlightened by the open door

of the ‘fridge,

nature’s aura haloing his figure as created,

while inspecting the snack time larder

of his desires

shoving the camera

back and forth

into each other’s hand,

between clinks of pop bottles

and pickle jars,

hot potato of photographic glee

ends in the youngest's grasp,

one quick inhale of bravery,

she stands in the obscurity of shadows,

and flashes one click,

as they duck and run,

between words unutterable

floating from the kitchen,

as light slams shut

the midnight snack

late night call,

ten years later,

another double dare

uttered by the oldest,

as the young ones chuckles

with artistic inspiration,

one more time,

only immortalized in paint,

between tinctured titters

and chromatic chuckles,

the picture hangs today

as her final masterpiece



****

The senior art show is tonight, and that picture was selected to be hung and judged by the art museum. We have laughed all week over this, it just has to win something! Childhood memories do come back to haunt you, in the strangest ways............LOL And her father does not know yet..............:wah:

That brought back so many memories of me and my brother sneaking

downstairs in the middle of the night for a little snack (sigh) :-4
