The Inkwell

#poetry #food #family

while mum waits for the seafood to defrost

i’m helping dad prepare a little something

nothing fancy, just an old favourite we both enjoy

grated cheese and salt and pepper sit on the table while

mince joins carrot and onion with tomato in a pan

and while dad prepares mum’s dinner – i watch the sauce as it bubbles away

nice to be helpful once in a while
