I have no idea who wrote this...would love to know. It was used as a tribute to Brian Jones inside the cover of a Rolling Stones album (you remember? one of those 12" vinyl things...)

"When this you see, remember me and bear me in your mind;
Let all the world say what it may, speak of me as you find."

Pour Commencer
Jon Stallworthy
1974

Take 1 green pepper and 2 tomatoes
and cut them into rings and hearts.Mix those
with olives, black olives, and go for a swim
in a green sea with her(him).
Then serve your salad on two bellies. pour
a little sun-warmed olive oil in your
salt navel, some vinegar in hers
(or his), and eat slowly with your fingers.
Empty the bottle. Open a second. Then
lick your plates. You will need them again.

Small Feast
Charles Simic
1998

Naked at the table,
Face to face,
Eating grilled squid
With our hands.

She licks olive oil
And minced garlic
Off her fingers
One by one.
Eat some bread, I say.
She just laughs at that,
A hot pepper flake stuck
On the tip of her tongue.
