Carrots are one of my return-to-foods. Return-to and enriched from knowing them early on. Comfort food. Carmelized by the grace of olive oil. Add black pepper and fresh hard cheese. Add walnuts. Add pasts. Comfort beyond comfort. What is comfort beyond comfort in poetry? The sound of the poem in the mouth and how it tastes in the ear.
Besides, color matters in both food and words.

How do carrots predict a poem?
Go-to -- food and word.
Let it known: carrots are one of my go-to foods. In their own right & as a touch of color in a dish sorely in need of such. Right now, "grandmother" is my go-to -- word, voice, shorthand.
COMFORT FROM AN IMAGINARY GRANDMOTHER
saute' carrots in olive oil,
when brown & golden add walnuts, fresh rosemary, twist of pepper
to which can be added grated Parmesan cheese
if time & energy, toss with pasta
