Gumbo
Written by Riley Renee Boyer. Posted in Uncategorized.
That smell that lingers on
I wash it down with water
but it never leaves my tongue
the onion and the garlic
create a flavor so lethargic
I slip in to an aroma trance
and dream of a Cajun romance
an appetite that never dies
no matter where I flee
the Louisiana paradise
still has its grip on me
