Davina Prince
Cooking on the Car Radio
Calls down saddle of hare, slapping it
under wipers. Flick of salt, screen wash.
- and slip a knife up the long bone, like this -
Past sealed, shuttered lorries, secret
as chocolate bars. - remember
to catch the blood, a basin or a jug -
Verges, grey with salt: too-long winter
cocooned in steel, spinning out the wheels
- with onions, or preferably shallots -
making sense of maps, where slip-roads slither in,
watching brake-lights, blink of intentions
- do this quickly, before the fat congeals -
wondering on the by-pass why floured hands
are kneading dumplings in the dashboard,
chopping herbs in a lay-by. Stink of diesel
- and some juniper berries. Top of the oven -
through the heater; road well-greased, black
as burned meat tins. Recipe for disaster.
