Doorstep delivery by friend of fresh sourdough bread
Mason jars and lids lined up on counter top
Ready to receive perfect vegetable spears under
Dill pickling salt canopy
Beside gifted bowl of carefully dried apple and banana chips
Spicy butternut squash soup simmering on stove top
Oven open for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
Creating comfort in foods
Shared simply for soul purpose
Nourishing need
Filling forever empty space
Baking, canning and processing
Making scents in times
Where things barely make any
Sense at all.
*A selection from a collection called Poems In Pandemic Times, all written by Barb Rusiewicz-Enright
