Working the dough in a bowl
seems more poetic
than having a machine
do the kneading Now
a mechanical whir
replaces whacking it & watching it rise
beats returning it to the hot oven &
pulling it out at just the right time
I tinker with recipes & assess
consistency What of eucharist is there
in each loaf? The full fragrance
welcomes my wife home from the city
Walking a dusty way is worth
the effort even if we drive to the
trailhead What of pilgrimage is there
in each hike? Our walk together is
communion It’s not the miracle
we witness that convinces us
but what we recognize
in the breaking of bread
