You are the mustard queen
Sting the palate
Shades of turmeric and black tar
The overlooked middle child
Between sriracha and mayonnaise
Your golden kiss will forever remain
On the foods we hold most holy
Sandwich
Salad
Soup
Potato
Egg
Mustum ardens – glaze of the Romans
Held hostage in Dijon
High in omega 3 fatty acids and
Isothiocyanates for heat
And if you dry out
A little wine will revitalize you
i fu<k!n love mustard. and this poem.
