Poem on a Plate

Obrigado, she said,
let’s go
make like the locals
and live
as finely as nobles
off land
and the sea ..
On freshly caught
anchovies,
black olives,
and unpasteurised
goats cheese,
buckets of red wine
white grapes,
and wild honey ..
Plus baskets
of this homemade, 
still warm
and delicious crusty
coarse
Portuguese bread ..
