I stand here and wonder
do I know myself

having never been loved
truly

like a simmering pot
of soup

Here am I
a potato
with a tomato
floating by

the numbness of anticipation evaporates
into a steady steam
and the fragrances of romance
begin to boil

like so much rosemary...

This was awesome.

I liked it loads.


Potato/tomato part was my favorite.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

I love Rosemary.  It is good on everything - well maybe not ice cream.  Like this poem too.
