Trace of a strawberry

Salford, 31st May 2017

Trace

 

The cheesecake didn’t last that long

its remnants lying on the bottom of the crystal glass tray

shortcake digestive and chocolate crumbs

combine with the faintest of pink swirls

created as the strawberry sauce

dripped down onto the glass

    This is so sad 😭
    It’s always sad when the cheesecake is gone !
    But I leave no evidence it was ever there, no crumbs, no sauce.. 😄

      Ditto, Pan. The prompt just brought memories of Me, a well known US based American restaurant in the UK, a really nice pasta dish and a rather delicious dessert! Glad you liked it!
