Lost in the Middle


A place between summer sun
Winter weather
Snowflakes and quiet sips of spicy tea
Autumn - I disapprove of fall
For fall suggests we fall from heights to doldrums
All I fall for is Orange foods and into the leaves raked high

Yes, it has been so very long since speaking last:
Baking, writing, testing, and work
Life is long but its days shortening
College I fear is my life
This latest equinox the waning light

I have not foregone the pan
Nay, nor the oven
These hands are rough in testament to that
and the love I feel for my new job at the Henion
and hard tasks, soft dough
and warm soul.

Still I find myself in a better place than I thought to see
through this difficult kaleidoscope
Not the spyglass set once on hard lines
and an empty horizon.

I still need to find my fix
but closer and less obscure:
Of this, I'm sure.

To pass the time? Some sweet, and savory
Treats to taste for.


 Pickling: Perhaps


Crust recaptured


Scones?
Poppyseed and lemon alone
