alchemy
the house is empty once again
sweet womanly smells gone
laughter of little ones no longer around
heart aching.
pot is on the stove though
rolling boil splashing out
mixing, churning, stirring, and stirring some more
pot of stew almost ready to serve
almost
waste and rot all mixed in
making something magical indeed
gold from garbage?
looks that way
sacred alchemy working away
making it all brand new
making it all brand new
