Fried chicken, The Secret

Gluten free finely ground crumbs/flour coating and coconut oil.. & the patience to stay with them, turning prudently yet efficiently. Nice legs ya got there  :)

Red wine stains, act I

The original full glass, my supper a french bread pizza with not a stitch of real french bread, nor a smidgen of creamy fesh mozzerella. The bread from Three Bakers here in PA made this the satisfying and delicious, best pizza I have had since having to ditch the gluten,
& sadly  sadly  sadly give up dairy
:'(   It held up to olive oil, sliced garlic, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, spinach and daiya provolone slices. Absolutely, give it a try. With any of your favorite toppings. Ahhhhhhhh

Swallow of wine

A swallow of wine left in the glass on the table from last night, I took it and set the glass down here. Came back a few minutes later and snapped a few, the red wine stain drips on the glass, in the light....

Do you see the eye?

dark my mother, dark she was
dark as night 
dark as sky eclipse at day 
I think she
smiled & pierced the air around with light
infused with merriment 
that only dark of night could penetrate
& only dark & light assimilate the wish of both 
to consummate, the struggle
oh, the need so great
the light, ecstatic laughs
the dark, a weight
the night
so dark
my mother light.
dark mother, dark.
dark mother ,bright.
