Art, you’ll find
my fully-seasoned heart,
in a covered dish
on the kitchen counter
next to the toaster/oven.
It’s already marinated
in your piquant love.
Pop it in and bake it
at three fifty
for half an hour
or until it’s moist and tender.
Don’t forget to
remove the glass lid
and baste it regularly.
With much affection,
Mayela.
