A sunset-salad that inspires a poem. What's a sunset-salad, you ask? Not a salad limited to making/eating at sunsets. Oh, no. A sunset-salad is great for lunch or even breakfast. (Dinner, too, of course). Perhaps, an example will help. Just remember there are as many sunset-salads as bounty from a farmer's market.
Sunset-salad #715
peach
huge heirloom tomato -- one of those richly hued-reds ones
fresh basil
avocado
black pepper
almonds
Mozzarella tiny balls
olive oil
if you have a few cooked beets (& why wouldn't you?) especially of the yellow-kind, cube & add
Cut what needs cutting/cubing. Mix. Where's the fork? Where your pen? The ocean lies in front of you. Read the calligraphy of waves -- write that down for me, please. I'm eating.
h in the sunset, still eating

his concerns were of astounding depth
and the shape of the dishes confused his eyes
