The Kitchen

In the kitchen,

After the aimless

Chatter of the plates,

The murmuring of the stoves,

The chuckles of the water pipes,

And the sharp exchanges

Of the knives, forks and spoons,

Comes the serious quiet

When the sink slowly clears its throat,

And you can hear the occasional rumble

Of the refrigerator’s tummy

As it digests the cold.
