Ahhh. the beauty of words
of many languages
spoken softly with sensitivity
can heal, comfort, inspire
even on a bistro menu
words sing like songs
to entice you, tease you
allow you to enjoy
beauty, taste, pleasure
let the words, descriptions
roll over your tongue
prior to the food
even arriving.

It’s time, trim the sails, a last move, for sure
gone, the Toulouse Lautrec dinner set for eight
no need, daily life is different from ever before
changes are made, my new life settled by fate
adore the fancy new dishes, two of each design
cooking, eating less, use only luncheon plates
adjust, make life easier, all worked out fine
it’s fun to wash this crockery, they’re so pretty
and placed on the table with a glass of wine
next to the flatware, a journal, a book so witty.
