In youth,
I’d take my steak
Well done only,
Extra dead, I’d say.
Now, older,
having been taught,
Palette educated years ago,
I’ll take my steak
Rare only,
Extra moo, I say
Raw if I could,
I say with a smile,
The tang of iron upon the tongue.
Swallow down fibrous chunks
of bloody muscle
barely chewed.
Wash down all reproach
With the tinny taste
Of blood.
An insight to a heart mind and soul.
An onion has many layers. So have I!
