Lazy morning. Coffee and Bagel

Golden bread with a soul,

Food with substance,

Like manna long ago…

A memory of onions

Behind the nuttiness.

Warm, delicious, smooth,

Rough on my tongue.

Butter, liquid sunshine,

in crags and crevices.

Soothing delight,

Balm to the heart,

Brings a hum then a smile

And goodwill towards men.
