What I See In You

by Terry Olynik

Pasta.

Oodles
Of Noodles.
A
Family style platter
Of
Linguini alfredo.
Ingested with gusto
By a slip
Of
A
Girl.


And


Cabernet.

A
River
Of ruby vino
Washing down
A mountain
Of starch.
Each glass
More full
Than
The
Last.

That's what
I see
In
You.
And I pray
It stays
In
You
For
The duration
Of The evening.

I like what you do with the language here, the way you present it.
