Ode to an empty Circle - May 13, 2001
To move quickly from a dull yellow,
falling into a liquid bath of hotness,
flopped over even before the side is golden.
The sizzle and hiss of a white glaze
that coats crisp gold flesh
remaining firm to the touch.
Each bite melts away
even as we struggle
to identify the taste.
A feast of tasty bits
dances before our eyes
as the myriad of selections
overwhelm us.
