Kitchen

The tile had to go
Fine, $15,000 later, gone!

Diane didn't know that she is a serious foodie until the kitchen revival
Now it smells like herbs of which I'd never heard

She tried to make a vegetarian of me
I nearly starved
So we compromised and did it my way
Until she seduced me with salads from the Elysian fields

And flowers from her garden
Gladiolas are blooming now
Those that collapsed in the rain adorn our table
A heavy glass vase supports the tall luxurious boughs

The sun also rises on our silestone counter tops
And stainless steel refrigerator and range

Jaybirds in the firs outside are stunned
In their blue reflections
Their mockery of the serenity within

The kitchen has tasted festivities
Flirtations
Feuds
Gravel-like gluten-free bread

The silestone will survive us

Audio Track

Alle Winde schlafen
auf dem Spiegel der Flut;
kühle Schatten des Abends
decken die Müden zu

Luna hängt sich Schleier
über ihr Gesicht,
schwebt in dämmernden Träumen
über die Wasser hin

Alles, alles stille
auf dem weiten Meer!
Nur mein Herz will nimmer
mit zu Ruhe gehn

In der Liebe Fluten
treibt es her und hin,
wo die Stürme nicht ruhen
bis der Nachen sinkt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the winds sleep
on the mirror of the flood
cool shadows of evening
cover the weary

The moon draws a veil
across her face,
floating in twilight dreams
over the water

Everything, everything is still
on the wide sea!
Only my heart will never
find peace

The tide of love
drags it here and there,
where storms never rest
until the boat sinks

Arabella, Zdenka - Duet, by Richard Strauss
