My Gourmet Life
Flowers cream and violet to brighten the pale summer
Bleached out houses against painted green lawns
Vanilla beans from Madagascar stiffen and crumble
Kitchen heating up with Peruvian songs
Dandelion soup for dinner, picked from the patch in the back
Parsley tabouli with tomatoes tender, hardly a commoner’s snack
Shoulders sun kissed from cucumber gardens
Lemon verbena skin
Coconut milk green swirled with Thai basil
Waiting to throw the hot chilies in
Come over to dine in my gourmet life
Come over to slip from your mountainous strife
You’ll find me in a gypsy skirt, bare feet and twirling
Steam filled with garlic and peppergrass swirling
Tea lights lit and the night sky burning
Filling my soul to the brim
Come over to dine in my gourmet life
Feet kicked up, to the infinite whim.
