I am ecru trimmed with gold

and your laughter burns my eyes-

though the onions

probably contribute-

and I wish that you would go away

and let me make this damned soup

in peace

and set the table

in ecru trimmed with gold, fine china

ready to receive a broth of carrots

and celery, all dressed up

for the mundane, the vulgar

Trapping bay leaves with a slotted spoon

ecru trimmed with gold

shattered on the kitchen floor.

Trying out this Stash thing.
I don't think that I like it.
