There comes a thief, a pastry chef
to steal all the midnight stars for berries in his pie. One by one they are plucked by his rain-soaked and thundering hands rolling clouds of dough onto edges of sky. Lightning flashes blast heat beneath his culinary creation, baking it to perfection. A tangerine moon slips her spoon into the treat scooping stolen berry stars, and flaky rumble topping, and heavy cream hail and eats it in ecstasy, far above the chef’s clever cover of cloud.
