hazy cloud
fermenting for the future
gooseberry wine

detailed notes
of everything passing my lips
giving the illusion of control.
I've forgotten what cheese tastes like;
milk, bread and butter;
the simple pleasures of fat and sugar.
It's the price of a sedentary lifestyle:
if I worked all day in the fields or the arena
I could eat whatever I could get
but a scribe gets fat easily
and the weight is hard to shed.
Oh! for a demonic pact to sign
to repair the damage of a lifetime.
