zucchini

zucchini

zucchini
does a belly dance
a limbo too

then stretches on the lawn chair
to roast its greening skin

gingerly placing garlic
and parmesan bits
to spice the bites that sneak up close
with sea salt sprinkles perched

her dances wet the appetite
the sun rays warm the bone
the spices make saliva pour
into zucchini’s cone.

Eco-friendly

land loves leaps of faith

root dances-bike strokes-sun rays

wispy whirls of wheels
