Wild grass and sweet lemon;
lately he has been thinking about you.

Vine leaves and dill;
he wants to quiet the thoughts.

Paprika on roasted peppers;
he kisses the back of your neck at the stove.

Rice and cinnamon custard;
you offer him the hollow of your throat.

Ripe tomatoes and walnut oil;
you don’t ask him if he’s still with her.

Nutmeg on sourdough;
you let him lift you by the waist.

Caramelised peaches and vanilla bean;
he lays you down on the kitchen table.

Pine nuts soaked in buttermilk;
he is hungry.

Mangoes and rock salt;
he forgot the way you taste.

Raspberry jam and cream;
she can not make him eat; like you do.
