Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by eating.
Eating begins
with warm bowls,
with bread torn open,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the table after work,
it turned hunger into care.
- Mira Vale

A Trace

inside salt passed hand to hand,
small enough

strong enough
to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.

It only grew honest,
clear at the edges,
carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.
