i've tasted it,
i've swallowed
it whole.
i've carved it up.
i've sliced
it with a serrated knife.
i've made it tender
with a mallet,
i've seasoned it.
marinated it for days
in the cold. i've
baked and broiled,
i've fried, i've let
it sit for hours on a low
burner, setting the timer
on the stove.
i've stood by the skillet
so that it doesn't
boil over,
i've been careful,
keeping a watchful eye
on things burning.
i've done so much to cook
this love, but to no avail
perhaps one day
i'll get it right,
but it seems right now
i'm still learning.
