One day
not today
I'll scream.

A priest in love
She fed me food that brought me home
Food that mama left in uncovered pots
She smiled and tried to add some more
my plate was slow she deserved to know
I hoped and wished to stay for more
her hands were full of gifts to give
I know she keeps her rhythm in debt
to love and heal our scruffy days
Bless her cooking and bless her smile
A gift in Makeni to a priest in love
