WE GOBBLED GOATS CHEESE

WE GOBBLE GOAT’S CHEESE


Scales of justice weighed in gold and coal
cherubs and demons cheer without fear
horns blow, rooms gather fat

Coaxing a grey Persian cat 
climb stairs of glamour 
or disillusioned clamour 

Heads dance across Florentine floor
joy shiver silent at a wooden door 
hazardous stealth the cunning core

Roti fry in sesame oil to serve 
with Côté D’ Or, everything coiled 
drops of champagne sorrowfully soil 

Chameleons cut own coloured flesh
hiding wounds wry waistcoated breasts
Botox gone awry, confess !

Scales dramatise to legitimise 
two platters evenly plead
weighing a crafty compromise 

We gobble goat’s cheese
celebration up in a breeze
