Smell.

Can you smell it?

Bacon frying in the 100 year old cast iron

Powdered eggs making bacon grease look like whole foods

Do you understand what this means?

It means someone is sacrificing

And…I mean it smells so good that it may be deeper than that

Deep as a well whose waters untouched

Unscathed

Only filled until it overflows from an artist that makes things grow

She wants it to rain

Her and her flowers grow from it

She’s cooking 400 years of suffering and serving 400 more

And it is the purist of love

How do I know? Because I smell it

I feel it

I love it

And i love her.
