spice

by Maria Francesca

cumin
is a trip
to Mexico:
summer tacos
at a sunny patio table

basil
is spring in Italy:
Penne ala Beatrice
at a sidewalk cafe

ginger
is the mysterious Orient:
sweet
and spicy
and haunting

and all of them put together
do not begin to equal the flavor
of that look
in your eyes.

Every relationship needs a little spice in it. Very well done.
