7. What You Are Then



for Ginie

I dreamt of all this food
piled in a kitchen, then
cut up small to glisten
unexpected

The sheens discrete & precise
writing in agreeable readiness
before we begin to act
in pleasure

This is frantic, formal, familiar
you are skilled in it & alive
ebullient & transformational
defiant

We have run out of pronouns
something is needed fresh & spicy
beyond all praise & ridicule
is you
