Is it going to be a quiet dinner
or a slow cooking meal
with a dessert of taunting
and a glass of verbal abuse
There's frying in the air
and the food is on the floor
before the table is set
Baking beatings
and bullions of bruises
It as once said
the way to their heart
is through their stomach
Yet kitchens so easily become charnel houses
the bones of beauty and love barely held together
wrapped in chains of silverware and soup spoons
A recipe for domestic slavery
