Sit your tired bones down.
You’re working too damn hard.
Your place is at the table now,
Next to the flowers in the yard.
Courses carefully planned to sustain,
Tasters, soups, elixirs to start
Meats, veggies, & carbs for main
though our camaraderie’s the star.
Dessert’s loving & dancing
with cakes & creams on the side
To connect is why we’re living
To make art, we take pride
I write these words, sing these songs,
Dance this dance, make this food.
I do this to be with each other
Babe these flours are for you.
Flours for You
