I stop when I see

blackberries on the vine

memories of pies

aromas in the kitchen

Mother in her best apron...

she patted her apron
tiny boy crawled inside
she covered him up
hiding him from the cruel world
never letting him go
he was safe...

Doing chores in the buff on my mind
apron strings dangling down my behind
I hope he keeps mum
about seeing my bum
'coz my window cleaner's just resigned!...

Attired in an aba apron
Always asking apprecisively
Are apricots aphrodisiacs
As Auntie abhorred amphimixis...

What's your necktie dangling for?
Too stiff, too thin to be a scarf,
a bib or an apron;

too smooth to be a hankie,
too short to be a suicide noose
to contemplate on!...

mama’s ordered world
nondebatable in youth
tying me to the past

modern day wonders
appealing and distracting
pulling at apron strings

Hot bread
Can’t wait
Mom has on her apron
She was up at four this morning
A delightful smell comes from the kitchen
Peeking in the oven window
Salivating big time
Watching it rise
Hot bread!...

What's a necktie 
dangling for?

     Too stiff, too thin 
     to be scarf, a bib 
     or an apron,

Too smooth to be 
a hankie,

     too short to be 
     a suicide noose
     to contemplate on!...

surrounded by white birds
who bring me an apron.

I discover the guts of this day
until it's carcass breaks free from my lips.

I'm glad I am gone
it is good to leave,
to fresh air
a clear day
and a  smile...

Cooking 
Together, day by day
Digitally

You 
In your best apron
And I in my evening suit

Hmm, the soup 
Is boiling
With your finest herbs

I tasted it
And wish I have cooked it first
...your bowl of wordy art...

Just go feed the cat, pretty please?
fix me a drink and add ice.
I boss you around with love
salt to your sugar 

You take care of me so well
your heart left on your apron 
love is the smell of fresh bread
that plate of sweetness....

He' attired in magnificient apron
smiled to me
his.or mine eyes told
" hey ! i'm here"

Looked elegant without 
anxiety or can I say fear
instead of anxiety

He has some sort of 
FRAGRANCE

I gave up everything to be with you

MY OWN DESTINY...

Crisp white apron  checquered teatowels
Whitewashed hands dance on the dough
Kneading bread scent of yeast caked skin
Tomato onion and corn simmering folded
Fragrance of  youth smiling whites of eyes
Beautiful  woman  playing  the ornate harp...

I love this painting;  it reminds me of my grandmother’s apron.
I see her kitchen and smell fresh chocolate chip cookies.
Another despises it;
It reminds her of being raped when she was four.
The wallpaper on her Uncle’s walls.
She smells him.
Art is subjective....

a nod a gesture
calling
sit at the kitchen table
hot tea
steam from the pots
white stove
busy apron
flying hands
baking dough
telling stories
strong coffee
smack the wall
the plaster breaks inside
and rains
we can't see it
have a cookie
don't tell your mother...

 KEEP SMILING

family event
like walking through a minefield
keep neutral and smile

at last no more apron strings 
liberty feels strange

Too many indigo tears

The Ocean
hides them beneath
her broad blue checkered apron

White capped waves skirt across
a memory
an act
drowned
long forgotten

Vomiting up
salt and brine
debris that won’t
stay down

Resurfacing, beached
upon
tomorrow


An
old shoe
someone once

Croissant making
Bread baking
Yeast slaking
Crust caking
Bread

Potato
Pumpernickel
Whole wheat
Enriched white
Bread

The smell of it
You will have a fit
Fresh from the oven
Your Grandma’s apron
Your mother’s way of buttering it
There is nothing more heavenly-tasting in the world.
Bread!...
