Cast iron kettle on
stainless steel stove.
Purchased perfection, earned by
three thousand six hundred and fifty
days
in the kitchen; in my kitchen
the water slinks in thick streams from
tap to bottom of the
pot,
now resting solid, on the worktop.
Bring
it to a boil and wait fifteen minutes…
Neatly kept fingers deftly spin and
click the flame
Spin and click. Spin and click…
Blast this stove!
It’s heating now, the kettle, and the
Water rumbles inside, tumbling over
itself and over itself.
The water is dancing and as it starts to
scream
I
slip myself inside.
