Sweet Siesta
Your toffee
tastes just fine
sticky sweet at this
time of day after lunch
as I watch the soft rain, whis-
pering
your perfect image on
a steam covered window
and I long for
imper-
fection but
you’re on top cont-
rolling fiction
Hearty Pillow
The witching hour is upon us
ignite a fire beneath the
transparent pots
let's cook a dreamI am hungry
he says
Howl
Awaken
the blushing beasts
Tell them, now
tell them
we're having
a sensory feast
and let's cook a dream
not rare nor well done
but rare
and well done
I'll fetch fresh
water from
this stream
first,
she says
I’ll ride you well
up hill
for its raining
down in hell
Then,
You start brewing some
coffee and don't you for
get: a hint
of rum to hunt
the dream
down
Come on
he cajoles
don't quit on me
we've got a delicious dream
bubbling away
keep
slicing
peeling
mincing
stirring
savoring and
licking
my fingers with
tasty morsels
come on
cook and hum that
strawberry-cheese
old hit
I’ll hit on
your drum
till we hunt
that
dream
down
