I Said Yes

They asked for biscuits and
I said yes
the flour, the butter, lots of butter,
the egg, the milk,
the salt, the sugar, the baking powder
the mess on the counter
some spilling to the floor.

There’s no substitute for
biscuits made by hand (which equals love)
maybe not good for the body but
terrifically good for the soul.

Someday they won’t ask me
for biscuits though maybe
they’ll make them on their own
and maybe the flour will spill to their floors
and maybe they’ll remember the days
they asked me to make biscuits
and how I said yes.

Sending a little love, m
