Broth

Pink fleshy ham hock
hobbs of hell hot oven
for an hour
cool, the steaming
porcine limb
wash your hands
flake, the semi
scorched,
verminous flesh
from bone
retain the silky
life juice
cooking liquor
obliterate onions
other
subterrianean
vegetables
into a pan
with some
rederred pigs insulation
wait…
light golden brown
sumptuous caramels
at veg edge
add your
hock and stock
lumpy
bumpy split pea mix
barley, lentils and
spelt
that you, soaked
over night so they’d
just about melt
a handul of herbs
then put over
fire
for the legnth
of a footie match
take off heat
add some chopped,
pungent leeks
flame for a further
ten
then, the dumpilngs
go in for ten again
workmen, businessmen
men of the cloth
me, you, him, them…
We all love broth
