LIFETIMES OF DELIGHT

In the beginning you fed me beautiful
bits of roasted goat dipped into
luminous gold bowls of cherry sauce.
We lived a long and rapturously happy
life in the mountains.

As forest dwellers I braided my hair
with wildflowers beneath the full moon, while
watching you sprinkle your assortment of magical
herbs into our dinner of deer, salad, and roots.
Tonight I learned of saffron

The city found us cold and poor but never
hungry / while others starved you knew
instinctively where to find food. We dined on
baked squirrel & pigeon stuffed with wild
lettuce and nuts topped with mint sauce.

I was happiest on the coast / where daily
we enjoyed a delightful mixture of wild onions,
garlic, fish, eel, and crabs, wrapped in
banana leaves and slow cooked inside salt bricks
placed beneath our fire.

This time around finds us in the countryside,
and you in the kitchen preparing specialties from
many countries / We eat desserts garnished with edible
flowers sprinkled with sugar, served on
fine lace in demitasse cups.
