BROOMSTRAW

“And didn’t she take a straw and check to see if the cake was done. Didn’t I see her do that? It’s witchcraft is what it is. How in all of nature can a broom straw predict if a cake is done.”

“There’s dough on the straw if the cake is not done. It’s a testing is all.”

“Science then and what’s worse… But I still think it witchcraft. The cake tasted of strawberries and honeycomb and it the middle of winter. And she divined it with a broom straw.”

Kitchen Prayer (one)

Kitchen prayer

Hey hey, Mama,
Mothers of olde,
You fed us, you feed us,
Your nurture unfolds,
As we clatter and clammer
And we bake and we boil,
Our fires and our hearths
And our hands in the soil,
Are your hands and your hearts,
With all that you know,
You keep us and coach us,
And care as we grow,
Now we carry the seed
Of all that you grew,
Onward to children
Grandchildren
And you....
