An old fashioned stove, sitting to the right of a refrigerator, covered in pans.
A dining room table, four chairs occupied.
Today there’s a guest, and an extra chair pulled from the corner.
Sometimes they laugh, mostly they eat.
Sunshine angles through windows, lighting the world for the first time of the day.
In the distance, past the room and outside, neighbors are working. Inside no one’s busy, taking their time.
This is a lovely scene--you've highlighted the beauty in a slow, ordinary day and space...the extra chair pulled up reminds me a lot of big family meals at my grandparents' house, when a hodgepodge of chairs from all the rooms would surround the kitchen table for the adults and a card table in the living room for the kids...
ReplyDeleteAwesome imagery! The words you use, paint a very vivid picture of the scene, in my head. Good job!
