I baked a hummingbird inspired cake
carefully mixing and cutting and spicing
throwing in musical compositions
and stirring just enough to mix
modest mouse - lives
the last poets - wake up nigger
Mashing two large ripe bananas with two eggs and the juice and rind of a lemon,
crowded house - pineapple-head
half a cup of oil and half cup of sugar.
cocorosie - japan
Sifting well, many times, the flour of three and a half cups, two tablespoons of hazelnut meal and one of walnuts,
beth gibbons - sand river
half a cup of desiccated coconut and the spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.
the shins - kissing the lipless
Layering in the cake mixture and then a full platform of sliced fresh pineapple
clouddead - twenty
and sprinkle of coconut and rest of the batter
the books - ps
and baking
