You were kneaded
covered and risen
with loving hands
I caught hint of you
and my anticipation
heightened without delay
The time it took to
prepare you seems
great for something
so diminutive
I spied at you from
across the room
rolled into tiny
spheres of three
Your top was lightly
braised with
clarified butter
and slowly baked
What follows is
an aroma that
encapsulates the
entire house with
the most glorious
scent of less than
complex ingredients
Words tend not to
do this aroma
justice so I will
not try
We all know it
and can't resist
you fresh out of
the over
cracked open
to reveal the
steam of life
Tenderly buttered
as to not collapse
your fragile frame
I take you into
my mouth and
exhale with a
euphoric sigh.
