Mr Khan’s Shop

is dark and beautiful. There are parathas,

garam masala, nan breads full of fruit.

There are bhajees, samosas, dhal, garlic, ground cumin seeds.

Shiny emerald chillies lie like incendiary bombs.

There are bindi in sacks, aloo to eat with hot puris

and mango pickle. There's rice, yoghurt,

cucumber and mint - raitha to cool the tongue.

Sometimes you see where the shops darkens

Mr Khan, his wife and their children

round the table. The smells have come alive.

He serves me puppadums, smiles,

re-enters the dark. Perhaps one day

he'll ask me to dine with them: bhajees, samosas, pakoras,

coriander, dhall. I'll give him this poem: Sit down

young man, he'll say and eat your words.

Fred Sedgwick, making your mouth water...

Inktober Compilation 1/4 

One half of month done, only a quarter of the inks done... catching up though!  Definitely been interesting so far, trying out lotsa different stuff

Gonna do a few compilations of these, so I have something to reblog instead of reblogging each one individually (and to have them bunched as much as possible, given tumblr’s weird 10-image limit per post)

2: “Tranquil”

3: “Roasted”

4: “Spell”

5: “Chicken”

6: “Hidden”
