    Salt of the earth
    savory spice,
    exotic condiment,
    saffron of life.

    You have simmered
    gently in my heart,
    a lifetime of love,
    a sort of culinary art.

    You tenderized and soften
    the fibers of my structure,
    yet thickened the consistency
    of my stirred emotions.

    Thus I am solid,
    condensed, and firm,
    because of the essence
    you left within;
    a better version of whom I had been.

    You delicately seared
    and fused yourself in me,
    and quietly developed a secret recipe
    with all the ingredients
    from your heart’s library.

    Mixing carefully in the tureen
    of the life we created, you and me.
    With fork and spoon
    and your hand to stir
    together we tasted
    our love as a prayer.

    Respect, admiration,
    passion, delight,
    devotion and tenderness,
    and a smidgen of feist;

    a dash of spice,
    a pinch of salt,
    the scent of herbs
    to serve as balm.

    But then you vanished
    from this tureen
    you rose like a vapor
    leaving your essence within.

    My salt of the earth,
    my savory spice
    my exotic condiment
    saffron of my life.

    While the heat was high
    and the taste matured
    you left all the memories
    in my heart secured;

    with the depth of flavors
    that only you can hold,
    a recipe concocted
    all the lifelong.


    For Titi Maria, may she rest in peace; inspired by my uncle Tony’s love for her.

    Siempre hay algo alguien que te puede sostener.
    Sólo lo logra el amor.
