The dough,
Brown
Thick; yeasty,
They call it strong.
It stands for something;
A representation
of human essence.
Bring us your bread
And
Salt
And earth
And we will accept your submission.
It is power,
It is a norm.
And, it is
with me.
On
My hands,
Palms,
drying
Crust
Of flour,
It’s alive,
moving,
Going,
Getting somewhere.
I am here,
My departure
Is born.
Earth-y yet mysterious. Making bread so satisfying but in what time period? Literally? Metaphorically?
Both!

Literal! Shop on Eigg was too far for regular visits, so resorted to leavening process!
