Subject: Snap - The Sadness at the Heart of the Cake
Red laminex and zinc piping are not our 'chief concerns' here,
here in this kitchen of flies and yellow curling flypaper.
The dead are currants dotted in panettone.
A Methodist Ladies Cookbook on the bench
relates the dangers of a sadness
at the heart of the cake.
Who fails a cake?
Who leaves it, sighing, alone in a room at night?
Can the love of a cake be spurned?
In a corner of the room hums the deep
deep freeze. Cream sponges sleep within,
dreaming of spongy affairs, iced with comfort.
Majorca, Vic.
