savory chicken with gravy

broccolli with butter and sea salt
spices in the gravy, black pepper maybe
drifting to my space
improving this place
cooking and looking at the food
flickering candlelight
and the smile of a child
the smile of someone special
yet I remember when I was married
my ex would say MOVE! I want to see my dog and you are in the way! So I moved so he could have a good look at the dog
by flickering candlelight
working and coming home on my break, driving on glare ice because he called work to say he dirtied some dishes and could I come home and wash them NOW!
Hurrying back to work night shift and my break over
making shrimp, fish fry or steak dinner
YOUR FOOD TASTES LIKE ****!
Now he lives on ramman noodles and rats decorate his counters in his moldy trailer
and looks at all his goodies that were so much more important than me
to his family and to him
and maybe still he watches his dog and eats rammom
microwaved
by candlelight

Standing ovation!
May your tomorrows never hurt to that depth again.
You are talented and a ministry there in it.
Blessings!
