The Art of Taste
One should approach
My sister's cake with
Gourmet reverence -
With the euphoric
Expectation of an epicure,
The mindful Meditiveness
Of yogis and zenists -
With the dark spiced slice
Before one, redolent
Of liqueurs and brandy
Soaked body of fruits.
( Tasting like the sweet dark
Sin we used to feel in those
Delightful days of decadence,)
La fin de siecle.
The Shaivists say ,
That in the mindful implosion
Of tasting, the infinite
Can be revealed -
Well here I sit,eating, tasting
And dissolving in my sisters
Divine Xmas cake!
