Making Marmalade with Marc Bolan

..

Riding a white swan

cannot compare with the joy of

making marmalade with Marc Bolan.

His hands, so skilful

he could peel an orange in his back pocket.

Peeling oranges

as if undressing a princess,

a diva, a whore,

before bringing the fruit gently to the boil:

Simmering

like a secret; biting her tongue

bittersweet.

..

Delicious, irresistible: spread generously

at breakfast, like glittering gold leaf.
