Cooking Lessons

The sea cracks and flickers
against the sky as if to mock
the fiery tongues inside the grill.
In a shock of light
I can see you're grinning
as you flip the flesh. I'm
worried, I say.
The horizon stews. Coals
hiss as you spatter wine
over the food. Don't worry,
you say. It will cook off.

The suggestor says, "Cooking Lessons by ~katepowellshine is a poignant piece with wonderful imagery. There's definitely something that lingers after reading it multiple times... something deeper that seems to happen in the poem for which I cannot explain."

I hear
your voice
down the hall, through the window, above
all those trees, a light
it seems
& you are singing. What song
is that The words
are beautiful.

Definitely love your description of the sea mocking the fires of the grill. This is poignant--a nice snapshot in time.
