Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by food.
Food begins
with steam from bowls,
with hands passing plates,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the kitchen after work,
it made care visible.
- Mira Vale

A Trace
A quieter poem about recognizing food in a small detail.
I found a trace of food
inside salt on the table,
small enough
to miss,
strong enough
to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.
- Theo Linden
Steadier
A reflective poem about what remains after thinking about food.
After the word food,
the day did not become simple.
It only grew honest,
clear at the edges,
carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.

making room
for meaning.
