Our Kitchen Our Centre

Mug, porcelain, sunflowers Steam rising in soft tendrils Aroma filling the early morning Eyes focus The kitchen table, littered with parts of our life Bills, diaries, Pills, inhalers, tissues Art, books, homework, bags, phones Pens, colouring pencils, Cards for magic tricks Glasses, hair ties, bobby pins Our life on the kitchen table Eyes drift around the kitchen, Tidy, untidy, lived in We cook, we clean, we laugh, we argue This kitchen in all of its mess and turbulence This kitchen is our centre
