So....What's For Dinner

So....What's For Dinner

Already,
I ate the vegetable guts
save.....
Rather passed
on fruitful mind for dessert,
baring enough starvation 
to feed a family
while licking bloodthirsty lips
that await to devour
it's sin.

Still......
The puzzlement 
sacrifices to your lightning words
stomachs rumble 
with their thunder,
in disbelief 
this feasting woman becomes
a disturbing force boiling up from under;
What would have thee hunter do?
Time upon us
grows more rotten by the hour,
ponder, dream, suggest
those most unobtainable meals
bring fridge of thoughts 
to expire further sour.

Leftovers....
We're in no laughing mood 
that's yesterday's forgotten memory
and won't satisfy truth to today's food,
stare, stare away
at a menu
getting smaller by passing minutes
her internal bomb counts backwards 
down to seconds of single digits......

Positive, skipping a meal can keep me thinner
yet I see the humor in asking,
What's for dinner?

Hey D!!......I'm back in action ~ finally........this write made smile at the little subtleties that pass between people when checking out the fridge and deciding what's for dinner......I can see two people in front of the fridge "not agreeing" on any of the available possibilities......but then arriving at the final lines where the humor of the instance comes to the rescue of their potential argument......I may be off target.....but what the heck ~ I enjoyed the smiles it brought to me in the coolness of your phrasing......ALL STARS.......cool stuff (as always).......high fives bro!!........T xo

Good to hear your back man hopefully your medical situations are going well. T, me and my wife laugh about this stuff all the time until were arguing, but iam truly glad you see the humor because that is really what I wanted everyone to get from it even though most of it came off in a more serious and urgent tone. There is a short meme that I want to find to add to this where there is a scene from the notebook and the guy is yelling at her what do you want and shes like I don't know lol, it is so perfect im cracking up just explaining it. Ill have yo stop by see what you've done lately. Thanks for stopping by big bro Peace.

Thank you Debs. It is so crazy how many relate to this situation which you wouldn't think would be a big deal but somehow escalates into one. Yeah we try not to cook four meals for dinner but kids are tough too. Much love and peace to you.

I hate when we don’t talk
Never meant to say that

Life

A good morning,
to struggle opening the eyes wrestling the bed blankets away….
It’s flooring...
