Tapping around the kitchen

Toe tapping heel tapping good

Flavour pouring

From fingers cold yet nimble

April frosts still hanging on

Cailleach peering through the window

But get this tapping

Rhythm in the soul

Pots and pans and

Slots for spices, herbs, mix it up

Throw those potatoes

Make that sauce

La Salsa

Salsa verde

Salsa rojo

Beating to the eating

Straight from heart to plate.
