Li Po Eating Raw Oysters, Drinking Wine
Beneath the moon's pale gleam, I sit alone, The sea's cool breath weaving through my robes. Upon my lips, the ocean's secrets flow— Each oyster a pearl of the world untold. Their brine whispers of the tides' long song, Of ships lost, of lovers waiting in vain. A sip of wine softens the sea's harsh kiss, Its fire dancing where salt once...

The sea scatters oyster shells on its shores, adorning Gaia with its treasured gifts. Oysters have shed pearls since the dinosaurs; seeding sandy beaches between tide shifts. Mother-of-pearl colors a glassy sky as Dawn merges with the blue of the sea. And time is in no hurry to slip by, escorting endless waves ashore carefree. Sol's light gilds the sand, and gold filigree set...

There is a stall down by the dock Selling the freshest seafood stock. Creatures in shells, caught just offshore. Live oysters there for eating raw. Each one sealed up and watertight. To prise open it is a fight. Down in one, living flesh slither. Sudden burst of ocean flavour. Only these ones you eat alive If you expect to stay alive. Oysters help keep...

Fried Oysters
When I got to Heaven, God was gone His desk cleaned out, the Angels pawned Not one scant sign, he was ever there Eviction notice, pinned to his chair My ride had left, my ticket torn No place to stay, my hopes forlorn Looking down, I saw the truth The clouds were empty, destitute All tenets followed, a promise made Those things I dreamed of, the church forbade So here I stay, imprisoned high No...

Several sirens singing on the shore Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore. Willing witless wanderers; Oblivious obeyers, Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore. Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore That the salty surging sea cast ashore. Boiling briny blunderers With olive oil and oysters And feasting until they could eat no more....

Eating Oysters
The tray comes out I choose my first I lift the shell to my mouth Splash! A foamy spray of brine smashes against the rocks, sending arcs of water far onto the shore. I chew a few times, and swallow with the juice. The tide recedes back again. I wait a moment Sip my root beer Eying the plate, choosing...
