Peppermint bark in the heat of July
carries the taste of distant mountain peaks
as your tongue rolls over a rocky edge
of peppermint candy, crushed. With a bite
you stumble through the crumbling rocks and snow--
down to underlying flavors of brown.
Written, actually, last summer...but I bounced it around with revisions that wound up only modifying three words...

It's not usual that I'm satisfied with a first draft, but this is almost identical to the original.

I love food :love:
