Dinner!
Pit the cherries, section the
clementines, slice the peaches.
There, fruit cocktail dessert done.
Wait, there's your main course
so chop garlic and onion, bell
pepper and tomatoes to begin
the sauce. Dip those eggplant
slices in crumbs and heat the
olive oil, then fry-crisp and pat
down in paper towelling. Wash
the endless spinach leaves and
lightly steam. Now, layer sauce,
eggplant rounds, spinach and
dollops of creamy goat cheese.
Repeat. Did you remember to
sprinkle oregano, basil and hot
pepper flakes over the cooking
tomato sauce? Bake until bubbly.
Inhale that aroma. Yum. Ring
the dinner bell and smile. Serve.
Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
