i to say, when she held out
the spoon
with her homemade
pea soup,
with a ham bone
in it,
a first try,
and told me
to open my mouth,
to open
wide and swallow.
please tell me what you
think of it,
she said,
be honest.
love was new back then,
with both of us
walking on
broken eggshells.
i had
no choice but to grin
and utter the word,
delightful.
