Mediodía

At evening, I dream.

Her knife beat the wooden board
to the repicador's rhythm; saloma (recipient/singer)
yodels over accordions filled the house
with a soul that smelled like the  
simmering gravy for carne guisada. (jerky)
Alex, dame más pimientos del jardín por favor.
           When will the beef be done Abuela?
Al mediodía mi niño,

al mediodía.  

pretty neat chanson de ordinaire, my limited french allowed me to only have to look up a couple of words.  it's got some nice chimy alliteration and assonace mixed in with the gravy, and is as dry as the jerky you've covered with lashings of satay gravy. impressive keep up the tempo
My Muse, to labour chained
demure, pure, restrained
may yet escape -
i'll grab his cape
and hitch-hike to new planes
