Sun-dried they wait
tomatoes to be snipped
into the bath to soak
balsamic and water
one part to one part
Basil leaves
in the morning snipped
on a paper towel blanket
for the day left to rest
Olive oil a splash
Pinot Noir a dash
olives green finely chopped
Kalamata treated the same
Into the food prep
with brine a touch
garlic clove roasted
into a paste whipped
Meanwhile pasta cooks
vegetables simmer
two sets of hands ablur
heady aroma allure
Cuisine-sex-love
yes to all of the above
