Sizzling and popping form a melody
to the notes of the frothing grease.
Rich smells taunt hungry buds
and salivating tongues.
Unfurled heat radiates off of the
flushed embers.
Spring green tips blacken
and crisp from the feral flames.
Fingers collect juices
while wrapping the flexible
around sturdy stalks.
Chins welcome dribbles from
salty and bitter tastes,
while fat softens around crisp bites
that are welcomed by growling stomachs and
expressed through smiles renewed.
