Eleanor, We Have Put These Difficulties Behind Us

Come to me she whispers               But what about          the potatoes 

Fingers that taste         like butter         sweet then sickening            Excuse me,

A sickness rushing           A tightening of  throat       An alarm going off

oven is pre-heated    Put  the coated potatoes      into the oven

The wave of heat remembering         Once a quickening          of the heart

Seems like just the other day               Like any ordinary day     then a kid

Been at this         at it for a decade      What comes in tens?             Not eggs
