Tempting smells – so strong
they nearly satiate the
appetite – drift by.
We are all in search
of the quote that defines us.
Self in sentence form.
Why this ache, an itch
no hand can scratch, a splinter
no tweezer can pull?
Times like these, a hot
cup of tea, a soft blanket
is all that’s needed.
A blowtorch melting
a block of ice from within,
pain made transparent.
They’ll watch football. We’ll
cook. Men and women. Hunters
and gatherers still.
Accomplishment is
a relative term. You live,
breathe, think. That’s enough.
Like a cracked eggshell,
once broken it cannot be
redeemed nor reforged.
If every meal
were cereal, we’d all have
more hours in the day.
