Only salad, you say, in the sweltering humidity
Of the urban jungle.
Only salad….each piece of broccoli hand cut,
Washed to perfection,
Tortellini cooked so tender
Spices, herbs, oil, vinegar
Gently applied to all greens.
Only salad….that was made with pleasure
And love, with the intention
Of nurturing hot souls.
Only salad…..Yes, only salad.
