BRUSSEL SPROUTS
tailing brussels
ma sliced off just enough
for the outer leaves
darker and more bitter
to be easily removed
that done
she made a quick cut
across each base
then another
the sign of the cross
why the cuts? i asked
to make sure they cook
to perfection
said ma
whenever i tail
at the sign of the cross
ma comes alive
she does this
in remembrance of me
ROSENKÅL
ma skar lige tilpas
af roden på rosenkål
så at de ydre blade
mørkere og mere bitre
lettere kunne fjernes
når dette var gjort
lagde hun et hurtigt snit
tværs over hver flade
og så endnu et
i form af et kors
hvorfor snittene? spurgte jeg
for at sikre at de bliver
perfekt kogte
sagde ma
hver gang jeg skærer roden
i form af et kors
bliver ma levende
dette gør hun
til min ihukommelse
