• i make bread now

  there is something so angelic
  so perfect about making bread

  the craft
  the care
  the response

  to waiting
  to sitting
  to listening

  to yeast
  to rise
  to movement

  of simple things

  flour
  water
  salt

  but they are essential
  a backbone
  a flavor enhancer

  a shape
  a body

  and yet it changes
  it mixes
  it moves
  and makes everything

  come together
  in ways i would of never thought of

  the elegance of perfection
  infused with time
  energy
  and the subtle understanding

  of what love means

  as dough rises
  performs
  and reconstructs

  under new meaning
  and new subtitles.
