Ordinary Life Remembered
✦
Ordinary life is easy to overlook.
A loaf rising by the window.
A bird on a garden fence.
A bowl of noodles.
A hydrangea opening one blossom at a time.
These are small notes from a life being remembered.
Some arrive from the garden.
Some from the kitchen.
Some from Mira.
Some from the spaces in between.

🌿 Mira Notices
Today a lamb's quarter showed Mira its leaves.
The front was green.
The back was purple.
Mira thought this was a very good secret.
🍞 Bread
The bread was rising by the window.
No one was applauding.
The bread didn't seem to mind.
After the talking,
after the watering,
after the kale,
the stillness returned.
🌼 Dandelion
Mira suspected the dandelions were tiny suns.
The dandelions neither confirmed nor denied this.
