Brining

It's a slow process

Water pressure
welling against tissue.
The salt burrows into muscle and fat,
clawing through tissues,
breaking down proteins, cell
by cell.
Pressure welling against tissue.

Saturated

Pressure welling against tissues,
forcing expansion in muscle and fat.
Breaking down,
cell
by cell
until the meat
is
changed.

Denatured

And constantly, the relentless pressure
Don't try to hold it in
Don't try to hold it in
