autumn vegetables


Roasting Celery and chicken bones in oil in ovens smelling cinnamon
Carrots char if you don’t keep an eye on them, and that smell of apples

Wafts past pine needles and red ribbons of the soul of both, arguably
the most luxurious and sensual creation you can eat

an animal within craves fire
hot coals and pits to roast

spin the rutabagas slowly
looking bored towards death
