A poem written for the writing prompt for NaPoWriMo's Day 11 Challenge. 

 

 

"Swoon: a Love Equation"

 

ginger: grated, juiced

tiny tingle on tongue,

palate of fresh garlic, minced

whirl of the blender when

mixing in

fresh tomatoes and pouring it

ever so gently

over slippery chicken

you just cut

in the sink

 

fried plantains

bubbling on stove

sweet and brown

then cut for the plate

flesh as tender as peaches

in your kitchen

imagination   +   attention    >  gold
