“When Silence Swam on the Menu”



There is no past
There is no future
All there is, is the
Silence of Now


We move through the hours
day by day
soft-skinned vessels, souls gliding
flowing like water


In the swim
side by side
All as one
but One unknown


The menu changes daily
The unified constant
is the
Silence of Now

I feel a little funny. 
I need food in my tummy.

making moist mellow macaroons 
marshmallows and Madeira cake,
minuscule madeleines, marvellous,

My matriarch makes,
marmalade,
marzipan,
muffins,
mincemeat,
meringue.
mousse.
My meritorious mom mixes, merges, mingles,
melon,
mango,
mulberries,
Mandarins.
My maternal materfamilias, masterminds 
Mealtime masterpieces....

Pig feet, hog maws, chitterlings, yams, greens and cornbread,
These are some of the things that our bodies are being fed.
Fat back, ribs, neck bones, macaroni and cheese;
Our hearts and arteries are crying, please, please, please.

Buttered rice, succulent greasy peas and a thin-layered chocolate cake,

Butterscotch banana shakes
Chili, Chinese, cheese, and chips
Doughnuts, deviled eggs and dips

Italian food and ices, ice cream cones
Jelly rolls and jelly beans

Eat me first, I am the entrée,
My pink, sleeping prawns
Lie in wait

Tempt my main course, dancing
As in summer buds, flowers of
Goujons, acrobats of love

Fire your lust, washed down with 
Blood-red wine,  stirring midst
Medallions of beef and more

Then leave the cloth, the dish, the 
Opened...

Now don’t be rude
Yes I like my food, ok it shows a little
Mmm blue cheese and crackers, got to have a pickle
Spaghetti Bolognese, muesli with blueberries
Chocolate of course and ice cream with cherries
Give me a steak of medium rare
A fresh rocket salad 
better than a...

as the French cannot stand fast food....
