The Smell of a Memory

Bowl of chicken vegetable soup with crusty bread on a wooden table
A steaming bowl of vegetable chicken soup is served with crusty bread in warm window light.

I

coming home

from a day of lessons

my nose attracted

by summat tasty

travelling down the street

II

the waft of chicken

still on the bone

buttery onions and carrot

bubbling together

with potatoes and parsnip

III

And coming through

the back door

the wonderful aroma

of something supporting

freshly baked bread
