Dough
Gather this settling breathing and all
That is needed to knead and shape and form
The meaning of making this rise and fall.
Grain given life once again by the call
Of waters that, through simplicity’s storm,
Gather this settling breathing and all.
With room and rupture, complexities ball
Up to you, to think if this inner swarm
Gives meaning to making this rise and fall
From life into rest. Gastronomy’s thrall
Creates in the cooling as fates grow warm.
Gather this settling breathing and all.
Now, cut through the surface, and do not stall
This dance into death; you both must perform
The meaning of making this rise and fall.
See this singular thing grow strong and tall.
Allow the whole of you both to transform.
Gather this settling breathing and all
The meaning of making this rise and fall.
