What does two days eating meat have to do with poetry?

Oh, bring on the spinach.  Bring on the beets.
Multiple days of eating meat for one who doesn't so much (unless it's salmon or that ilk), is akin to poetry that is heavy.  Heavy, how?   Flowery.  Sometimes, the light feels heavy.

How does salmon write the next poem?

It's personal.  Salmon is a perfect food for me -- rich & colorful making my body hum.   Pleasing limbs & mind.  No small feat, when you think about it.

What kind of salmon?  Wild, responsibility farmed, or smoked.

Consider what salmon can do to a plate.  Think what paper does to words.

Happy & humming.  A poem anticipated.

What is the unexpected voice in a good meal & in a poem?

Dance.
Dance of energy.
Dance of words.
Dance of taste.
Dance of articulation.

The thrill of having a poem signed.  Pure dance.
