ravioli

the ravioli is so rich
and thick
with cheese and meat
that you bend
with the weight of it
as it goes down.
you loosen your belt a
notch, add bread,
some salad, a sip of
red wine. more raviolis.
it's a sin to leave
food on your plate.
and if there is one thing
you don't want to be,
that's a sinner, so you
eat that last one
with no regret, not one
left to be found.
