Today‘s special….

this was also written a while ago (at a restaurant could you guess) but revised recently...it still needs a lot of work

You praise

Me

Wiping down the same 

Yellow-

browned spot of 

counter

My knuckles grasping  the crusted handle

of antigen cups

One brown eye enlarged

The antique bacterial remnants coagulate

Here

To 

Make a wooden representation 

Of us

Carved

Between my pulled incisors

And a

half eaten olive pitt

 I realize

 

this  is all I can  offer

 Half eaten promises

 Of recipes

Of frittatas 

With rum 

Half alcoholic 

Passed out after a bender.

 

A piece of grotto potato

A grasp of parsley between the teeth

A tether of tarragon

Hanging

On the loose lips of 

This half insane 

woman

Deciphering recipes 

into tea leaves
