First Food

is finest.
After milk anyway.
Well before meat.

That's a whole herd of nourishment
you're trying to avoid
as you wade out dear,

even the Irish know it, love it
-in parts-
warts & all: the way

to eat life.

Let's evoke our past lives:
you be my neighbour,
inky & sleek,

salt-tongued of course;
noded & noduled (though
I don't know the difference)

& me the deep-sprung devourer
from over the channel-
sans fins.
