How might I serve you? (new title)

I am going to cook you
       smothered in shimmering oil
sizzled in a tumble of onions,
       translucent as tears.
Buried under a mountain of red
      potatoes and orange carrots.
Wrapped in a garland
      of crushed cloves
of garlic, fresh sprigs of thyme
      your taste now
as complex as your aroma.
      Rendered free
from that veil of beauty, cut straight to rhe chase
      your cage of bones,
slow stirred
      in love’s long dance of heat
until pierced
      without resistance.
 
I am going to eat
      your tenderness, portioned
for my mouth
      already tasting
the sweetness in your doom.
helping you nudge this one along has been fun!  I think that you’ve created an interesting piece of work.  Way to go, Steve!

It has been fun.  I purposely posted a wordy first version to see what resonated with different readers knowing it would change a lot.  Thanks for all your time and efforts.
And thanks to SC, TqB, Busker and Degrees for all of their useful input.
