Its World Poetry Day as recognised by UNESCO since 1999. As a deep expression of the human mind and as a universal art, poetry is a tool for dialogue and rapprochement. The dissemination of poetry helps to promote dialogue among cultures and understanding between peoples because it gives access to the authentic expression of a language. (Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO Message for the World Poetry Day) Of course, I have a poem to post... :^) Stuffing Rubbing old bread into a glass bowl you sneak up on me, indiscernibly, as doughy pellets rise and I glimpse your freckly face. You feign comprehension as I subsume your ‘Queen of the Sunday Roast’ role as if it was normal you can’t remember how it’s done. Chopping velvety mushrooms, finely, so finely, I glance again at the memory of the visit having to direct your every move: are you going to dress now? Would you like a shower? You’d got stuck in the bath. Cutting red onions, releasing their tartness you hobble-pace to the sitting room and back, unsure of its realm and your ranking. I smile because within your confusion the core of a joke between us remains, un-laughed at yet. Milling black pepper over the ingredients I add lemon juice, the freshest sage, generous garlic, glugs of olive oil, mix and pat into a Pyrex presenting it to you for inspection, hoping on a resurrection: you taught me all I know – don’t go.
