THE SLEEP OF THE DOUGH KNEADER

 

THE SLEEP OF THE DOUGH KNEADER



the cat

the music

       soft

the bread dough kneader

      clunk   clunk   clunk

coffee  soon

              coffee soon


under a flaxen moon 

the cat sits looking

       and looking     and looking

at the fox

under a flaxen moon


when the music stops

and the bread has risen

the oven warms the cat

who has come in to dream 

of cream and jam and fresh bread

straight from the oven a great time

for we are all asleep in the sleep

of the bread dough kneader
