Performance poet Ellen Thea reads her award-winning poem,
Cooking Lesson, and a poem titled Full Moon Dance.
Fragrant subtlety, aromatic nuance. I want to savor each delectable step of this meandering journey with you. A hint of this, a splash of that, Sprinkle the spices generously, delicately, we simmer, low burn, the occasional stir here and there. scorching this dish will never do. Too soon, too often checking a souffle, the wishful blooming. But oh how I dream that our peripherally watched unwatched pot will soon boil over, riotous, tumultuous bubbles, steam rising, our cake will be baked and I’ll lick the icing off your fingers.

full moon dance i hold my breath. the wonderment of this. your declarative moment, etched in infinite eternity. your gaze awe-whelmed. i’ve never seen such a face before. shining, reflecting the reflection of the full moon’s radiance. my lips, pressed against your heart. the rhythmic butterfly pulsations. a distant melody unchained. the joy of the moment of scarcely dared wished for dreams. grandmother moon rejoices at the instant of ignition. the inevitable meeting at the crossroads. satisfied now, she dances. and we feast on her roundness. i want to feast on your banquet. dive into depths of vaguely remembered lifetimes, glimpsed. from the moment of beginning, we agreed on this journey’s way of should be timing. the prearranged destination of this dance, conclusions foregone. we’ve tumbled over the waterfall, crystal rapids sweep us away. no escape, none desired, my knees are water. we dangle by a thread of the fabric of a moment, woven by the muse in time.
