The
oven door open
its
light on
shining
above bizarre shapes;
then
the house was no longer a house
but
a little bakery
for
us
to
play
and
to learn
a
few times through the year.
I
only learned her tastes and smells
the
soft plasteline touch of dough
the
secret thefts of unbaked bread
in
the littlest round shapes –
and
she always knew.
What
a scent a foil can restrain
and
how sweeter
bitter
homier
your
Easter bread can taste
found
unexpectedly
in
different roots
by
the summer ends.
