in your recipe for spousal stew
will you
even notice i’m on a slow burn?
please turn
me over so that i will brown
(heat down)
lightly and evenly all around
i’ve begun to sweat
broiled into a fret
will you please turn the heat down?!
Linking to dVerse Poets where we’re invited to write an “ovillejo” or tight little bundle (of yarn), which is untangled in the final line…
