Dinner

so when he's not home to cook for me,

I manage.

plenty of antioxidants in wine,

fiber in popcorn,

minerals and water in watermelon.

I'm missing greens, I admit, but tomorrow

in the garden I will harvest turnip greens,

lettuce and kale.

It all averages out.

I'm getting fresh air and relaxation,

the neighbors stroll past the garden,

pausing to admire,

I love to watch them enjoy the 

fruits of hard work.

yes, a lovely evening indeed.

well fed,

nourished in beauty.
