THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “They Feed They Lion” by Philip Levine: burlap, butter, bread, gutted, gray, grained, feed, ferocity, forgiven, holiness, home, hidden

 

 

I feed my family with cakes

chocolate cake and buttered sponge

being at home with bread to bake

a burlap sack of oranges

 

on such a grey day

nice to be cosy at home

forget ferocity, just forgive

don’t be gutted

some hidden meaning

the holiness of togetherness

 

feed the hungry, that’s the challenge

some grained food with juicy steak

then go for a walk by the lake

new recipe to take a plunge

 

afternoon tea with friends

short bread and scones

cappuccino is also fine

tete-a- tete with you

new gossips

new plans

 

masarap kumain kapag

may mga kasama*

 

*nice to eat

with company
