Platter

“I remember the stink of the liverwurst.
How I was put on a platter and laid

The rhythm of the refrigerator

And the table that holds a platter of pears,
Vermilion smeared over green, arranged for show.”

For his rage against chaos
To abate on the way to church,
In regulations of his spirit.
How good life is, on the basis of propriety,
To be followed by a platter of capon!”
