Half a papaya and a palmful of sesame oil;
lately, your husband's mind has been elsewhere.
Honeyed dates, goat's milk;
you want to quiet the bloating of salt.
Coconut and ghee butter;

Cayenne and roasted pine nuts;
you offer him the hollow of your throat.
Saffron and rosemary;

he had forgotten the way you taste.
Sour dough and cumin;
but she cannot make him eat, like you. — Warsan Shire
