I’d Melt

I want the kind of man

who wants the kind of woman

who keeps bacon grease.

He needs to notice

how it’s so much more

than stingy sustenance.

It’s ritual and relish,

the satisfaction of golden-brown biscuits.

He has to see

how it’s more

than just grease.

It’s gumption

and tradition

strained into a coffee cup

passed down through generations.

I need a man to recognize

the kind of love worth saving.

I long for a love

that holds up

like cast iron.
