(Peter Groby, 1981)
Gone, oblivious
To dank smell, waste pipe
Gush, swept off
Paper stock,
-Blocked out, curious
-To blot up, absorb
-The hunger
-With bone-in;
Honed in on shoreline
Picnic, jellied tongue
Infused with
Sweet, sour,
-Salt tingled nostrils,
-Charred smoke updraft bit,
-Adding a
-Dry heat quip;
Turkey, kosher brined,
Maple drizzled hits
Fruitwood chips
Of smoker,
-Partakers noshed bird,
-Complexion pallor
-Crisped, bored through
-Liquor clear;
Lobster marinade
On butterflied tails
Sea changed by
Waves of flame,
-Blue and red, jacquard
-Weave, inverted skiff,
-Bark-in-chic
-Wrap-around;
Grilled filet mignon
Rounds, mushroom, red wine,
Minced garlic
Reduction,
-(Earlobe, vestibule,
-Earlobe); (Earlobe, chin,
-Earlobe); (Chin,
-Vestibule);
Rib comestibles'
Dry rub fingering
Webbed bones and
Cartilage,
-Forest interval:
-Floor; understory;
-Childhood loss
-Foreshortened;
McIntosh apples
Peeled, cored, chopped, water,
Cinnamon,
Sugar: sauce,
-Puttered along blue
-Canal, dropped anchor
-To walk the
-Pristine sands;
Diced, cooked, potatoes,
Bacon, red onions;
Vinegar,
Sugar, oil,
-Rigorous toil melds
-Pantry basics through
-Sensory
-Baptism;
Flour, water, yeast,
Salt, honey, oil; sec,
Blanc, delved, roiled,
Scraped from bowl,
-Borne on page, colored
-Markers tag behind
-Figuring
-It all out;
Leaven relieved prone
Favoring basalt
Beige, putto
In deft hands,
-Socket perceived bones
-Spooled perforations,
-Scoring real
-With pared off;
Punched down to prayer rug,
Allah met rising
From prostrate
Confinement,
-Glanced resolve conveyed
-Delineations,
-The substance
-Justified,
Proved, provocation
From fungus dissolved
Fostered at
Gut level,
-Whites crescent, the yolks
-Wobble, specks absorb-
-Tarred, feathered-
-Impressions;
Fully baked bread tapped
Hollow, crust dark brown,
Top without
Depressions,
-Duly provisioned,
-Potsticker cheeks burst
-Sentience, smirk,
-Sauciness;
Mouthful reticent
With butter slathered
Waiter's crumbs
On guest check,
-'You're hot. Call me.' Tip
-Piled on to impress,
-A bathroom's
-Inked cartoon;
Jotted in balloon
After his butt had
Been groped while
Serving food,
-Leveraged him nude-
-The ass, the cheek, the
-Revolving
-Pepper mill;
The twist of fate to
Shakespeare's calling, or
Chef's, prep cook's,
Caterer's,
-Pool depth laborer
-Rubbed epidermis
-Of bather
-With suntan;
Stove, oven, walk-in,
Confinement stymied
Equity
Investors,
-Cosmetologist,
-Applied permanent,
-Chalked up to
-Passing hive;
Firmament apprised
By forkfuls meted
Out, paired with
Wine tastings,
-Twombly worm castings
-Wigged out color field
-That Rothko,
-Figured out;
Gristle pig cruller
Coughed up frog legs, a
Skeletal
Hunger pang,
-Keratin, mottled,
-Beard, unlined sleeve rolled
-Inside out,
-Gangly grunge;
Spinning top rattles
Pot's steel grey armor,
Pressuring
Green, yellow,
-Underpinning sketch
-Impulsively took
-Crayon swiped
-Red, yellow.
