she excused herself

she excused herself
from
the use
of minerals.
salt and pepper,
sugar.
seasoning of any kind.
no butter.
her life and cooking
were the same.
without spice,
without
taste, 
bland as a 40 degree
day.
even tea was without
tea,
just water and lemon.
a tepid brew.
her love
was like that too.
