Notes About The Poem

chuletas = (meat)chops or cutlets

3rd in Sense of Taste Contest (Sponsor: Nette Onclaud)

Judged: August 1st, 2025

By the Streetlamp

sun-dried, saltwater-rusted
bench sits above cherry bricks
undulating like pan-fried
bacon strips, by the streetlamp
where lazy dogs whine at once
and also lose their bladders
and imagine chuletas
in the beaconed street's limelight
