fine dining

I make some crab cakes

hands in the bowl
cold.

I broil asparagus, olive
oil

salt and pepper.

garlic mashed cauliflower
on the stove.

I pour a glass of wine
as I drizzle

chocolate onto
a slice of new York city
cheesecake

adorned with thin slices
of strawberries,

then a dollop of whipped
cream.

i press out the linen
table cloth

then set the table with
fine china.
one plate, one fork,
one knife.

the music is on.

i light a candle, then sit.
fine dining.

wish you were here to kiss.
