Dinner

let me cook you dinner.

i want to stand in the kitchen

over a stove

and make you curry.

i want to hear your laughter

and chatter from the living room,

while i work,

and every once in a while

someone pops in

to sit on the countertop

and talk to me.

you migrate,

until you’re stood in the doorway.

the house is full of light and life.

and when i can’t find

the turmeric

or stir the rice while i am

rolling flatbreads,

you’re there to help.

i want to sit on the floor

while everyone sits around a coffee table,

some on the sofa,

one on a stool,

and eats from their laps.

i want to do the washing up

while you make beautiful music

together, then come

and join in.

i’m not sure this will ever be a reality.

but i think about it a lot.

and even if it’s not like this, please -

you’ve made my life so wonderful.

let me cook you dinner.
