A Carousel of Forbidden Tastes

I delight in 
falafel sandwiches brimming 
with diced vegetables
 tri- cornered humentashen 
raspberry frozen yogurt
piled four finger’s high
ratatouille made with zucchini, 
purple eggplant, shallots, 
and miniature sweet peppers
I score cucumbers with fork tines
create ringlets of carrot ribbons,
and slice mushroom caps
into moon shaped slivers
i create paninis 
with left-over chicken

years ago
I prepared layers of lasagna
in two pyrex dishes
and left one dish on the table
when I left the house 
to dine with women 
who brought platters
of dining delights
seasoned with spices
I learned to love
