Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
NaPoWriMo Day 5: Salsa

Tapping around the kitchen
Toe tapping heel tapping good
Flavour pouring
From fingers cold yet nimble
April frosts still hanging on
Cailleach peering through the window
But get this tapping
Rhythm in the soul
Pots and pans and
Slots for spices, herbs, mix it up
Throw those potatoes
Make that sauce
La Salsa
Salsa verde
Salsa rojo
Beating to the eating
Straight from heart to plate.
