December: Kitchen Prayer
Dish soap
clean rags
bleach white counter
eggs in a bowl
folded cabinet doors
upturned cup
on the stove
tea leaves
hanging in the air
roses strung
on white lines
of faith
still
kneading air
folded in white
linen in the cabinet
silver in the drawer
blue crocks
with wooden spoons
worn brown bowl
garlic sweet
tomatoes from the yard
light
the small candle
on the shelf
votive voca me
voca me
cum benedictus
amen
Oh, I love this. It is the kitchen I want someday.
ReplyDeleteHa. It's my mom's kitchen, I swear: tidy, spotless, and homey.
