in the kitchen


In the kitchen
You prepare life
drinks
dinner
breakfast
scones and laughter
In the kitchen
no matter how wide or narrow
You can cram everyone in there
and they'll smile and drink wine
until it is done
and the belly aches
from laughter
not that apricot cream cheese
or even the bean dip
no matter how gassy it gets in there
from loose buttons and metaphors
what we all share
love is that meal-




When she was little she had little jars
in which she collected the beans from
bean bag chairs.
