"Spaghetti"

Folder: 
Tributes

by Jeph Johnson


Spaghetti strands

swirl and burrow

getaway paths

through spicy sauce


While Spode Italian

china greets

the curling carbohydrates

as they cross

 

A spinning fork,

splashing maroon,

stabs its way

into the sausage

 

Trapping the noodles

in between

and almost

taking them hostage

 

A sad accordion

accompanies

these lovers' 

heartfelt story

 

While Dino's

wine-drenched

lips wheeze

another "That's Amoré"
