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
