Hot Mixtures

a candle’s flame moves in the breeze from the window – her gaze lowers the sizzling dish is presented, white chicken – salsa, red and green a margarita wide mouthed, salted and chilled – her laughter rises silverware moonlit stands out against the red cloth – a knife is dropped Mexican coffee arrives a two tone mixture – too hot to handle
