FOOD

 

Wherever she was,

there were scraps

of ideas to be savored,

concepts she could relish.

Words, too, were food for her.

She sometimes sat by herself

and spoke a special word

to understand its sweetness.

Sitting on the front steps,

she might taste several

sugary words

as she watched the sunshine

strengthen her small town.
