tonight I'm preparing tomato sauce to have over pasta
those corkscrews have sat on the shelf, two weeks now
and I wish to taste their delicate shape
washed with a light tomato sauce
filled with zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms
flavored with garlic and basil
topped with parmesan cheese
a red wine would be nice to round out our conversation
the three of us sit around the table turning the corkscrews
pale red with tomato sauce
slipping in between parted lips
an occasional drop slips and is soon met with my cloth napkin
