Poem on a Plate

Poem on a Plate

 

Obrigado, she said,

let’s go

make like the locals

and live

as finely as nobles

off land

and the sea ..

On freshly caught

anchovies,

black olives,

and unpasteurised

goats cheese,

buckets of red wine

white grapes,

and wild honey ..

Plus baskets

of this homemade, 

still warm

and delicious crusty

coarse

Portuguese bread ..
