the potato eaters

Sometimes, the naked taste of potato reminds me of being poor.

The first bites are gratitude, the rest, contented boredom.

The little kitchen still flickers like a candle-lit room in a folktale.

Never again was my father so angry, my mother so still as she set the table,

or I so much at home.
