table set for two
satin tablecloth
polished glasses
bubbling curry
on the stove
fragrant spices
candlelight
filled the room
casting shadows
the flame flickered
sudden darkness
anticipation
no visual stimuli
only the tongue
for discernment
the dish arrived
the smell the taste
delicate combo
flavorsome
satisfying
filling
then the dessert
and drinks
served in the dark
all polished off
happy belly
questions arose
ingrediencies
revealed
in the light
only then came
the reaction
a frog allergy
an unusual sight
mind taking a flight
into the space
behind the face
stillness of an ocean
awareness in motion
between each breath
chance of death
view outside the eyes
impressions that arise
aiming to give meaning
generalizing screening
birthing of new ideas
might be no panacea
for having loving heart
beats being smart
tangled words
out the throat
only wheezing
escapes
jammed in the
narrow passage
all letters of the
alphabet
blunt or sharp
like a spear
a pen with
no ink
leap into
the unknown
fear aside
inhale
a tale about
raw diamonds
yearning to be
discovered
…shine
body of an angel
wings dark feathers
time to pursue
vegan leathers
off the high horse
out with charts
stop the bets
have the smarts
steadfast approach
change of seasons
eating flesh
has no reasons
who keeps pets
in their house
a comfy bed
next to the spouse
what’s for dinner
they do ask
prep some chook
put on the mask
one is poultry
one is a pet
one we pay for
to see the vet
so blindfolded
we often are
our habits
rather bizarre
time to wake up
to get real
all past dramas
we can heal
next time we expect
an incoming stork
let’s prepare it for
dishes eaten by
a fork
