Begun with bacon, finished with cream,
Dreamed in the Maritimes,
Golden yellow with
Ground turmeric and with
The corn itself.
Flecked with thyme.
Given to subtle pungency
By white and spring onions.
Thickened with corn milk
And judicious heat.
No gods eat this.
Poor gods. No one but humanity
Is qualified.
Is qualified.
