Bread

Bubbles in the dough, sticky. 

Stretch the heartstrings of flour and yeast, but don't 

break them. 

Let it rest, breathe in air like a balloon and

rise, billowing. 

The oven is hot. Don't let it burn you up, rather 

let the yeasty heart grow warm and soft, pillowing

within a golden shell. 

Breathe in the air like a balloon and 

taste the fresh baked bread.

Among my friends I'm famous for my bread. It's fun to bake and nothing beats the smell of a fresh loaf straight from the oven.
