Comfort Foods
Back in the kitchen,
frying up a pan of peirogi
in unsalted butter.
They will hit that hollow feeling gut
with the subtle grace
of a five ton bomb.
And don't forget the sour cream.
I know your heart is the hungry part,
but your soul needs warming PDQ...
and I know to my toes
that carrot sticks won't do the job.
And when you're fed brimful,
we'll talk again,
when your stomach isn't cramping your soul
or gurgling so you can't hear your heart
and it's speaking plain---but low.
