Tell me of your underworld
When you take me to Zanzibar
Speak truisms to a shadow
As I slip into the water
–
I’ll form a fleet with strangers
Taking colours in their race
Delivery by tropic mafia
Children at a child’s pace
–
The box of pine we carry
On a cliffside beach will open
Spilling seasalt sand from
A tall man’s heavy coffin
–
Uncovered and softly prodded
He’ll blink as if he only slept
Curls fit for a silver screen
And from film maybe he leapt
–
For he simply disappears
As we forget and paddle on
His revival a memory
So queer, it can’t stay long

What a bit of sweet fantasy, Lily. It was a great read.

Thank you Paul! It’s a genuine fantasy, a really weird dream I had one night 🙂

Very interesting, and the photo, did you go on holiday there? The place looks very serene.
Thanks for viewing Savor the Food. You commented that you bookmarked several recipes. I am delighted you found some to be appealing to your palate.
Was you able to explore the Recipes page? I have close to 200 recipes of all types: from desserts to side dish, sauce or dressing, soup and salad. Oh and of course, the main course, dinners. 🙂
I invite you to follow Savor the Food. With a delectable plate from Savor the Food, a good choice of wine and the nectarous readings from Serial Outlet. 🙂
You can lose a bookmark but not a notice to your e-mail when a new post is out. We would always appreciate your comments and readership.
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more posts of Lily’s ingenuity with her cleverness and originality.

Sadly I had to Google pictures of Zanzibar as a proxy! I’d love to go, though.
Yes, I bookmarked a few! I haven’t had time to explore that page yet, I mainly looked at the recent posts, but I’ll be back 😛 I don’t cook new things often but I may as well follow, haha
Hopefully I can keep things clever here for you!
