At the core of my being
I reckon there’s oil
and garlic and salt
and probably chilli flakes,
lemon or lime zest and juice,
or orange at my heart
applicable herbs, like basil
thyme, oregano,
always rosemary as it grows
stock cubes
or those new jelly ones
to amuse the palate
in each experiment
all to hold off the meal deals
we know are coming
