The map of anything can happen.

Placing a hand
on turning the screw,
the door opened
to geometric shapes,
the pyramid eye watching
a circle encircling
where the mark of
latitude and longitude meet -
there the cross bares
the treasure trove
of gemstones
alongside a reef
breaking over the bow
of a sinking ship
all set out
on a map of antiquities,
where a pirate vessel
sails tonight.

Meanwhile twenty four hours
ago elsewhere.

When it all began,
the attack of the killer tomatoes
leaving one town to drown
in tomato ketchup,
the out pouring
of tomato soup
over ladled thoughts
leaving a chef
covered in bewilderment
from a recipe called disaster
an avalanche of croutons,
seasonings to die for,
and a touch of chilli
to awaken and rumble
any culinary stomach to......
a hunger to write.

I adore the imagination here Andrew :) Quite a visual piece - reminds me of many a time I shall go prepare food and my mind is wandering other plains or realms lol The mind likes to ponder on such things, writers have that tendency ey :) Amazing poetry, story-like with reality - such a wonderful balance :)

A recipe - two writes added together , 24 hours later . Yup with ladled thoughts . Even if covered in bewilderment - I am pretty sure you are not the bewildering type . It is nice to meet you , thank you for sharing , Holly .

Thank you Holly for your kind words. It was really a whimsical write going no where in desperate need of
a conclusion.
