Day 5 - Family Recipe

I sharpened my love

Before slicing it thin

Again and again

I rinsed it 

And chopped it 

And seasoned it down

I hummed life into my love

Or vice versa

As I massaged

And marinated

Stirred, sauteed, shaken and simmered

I baked my love at 350 degrees 

For as long as it took 

To make you taste it

Before it ever crossed your lips

And to savor the flavors 

That linger on your tongue

Belly full

Spirit satisfied
