our Sunday tradition
grilled cheese and tomato soup
and stories with ingredients
from around the world
narratives nicely plated
and served warmly
on the TV above
the slow-burning fire
nourishing like tales around
a campfire blowing on a bowl
of chili still bubbling on the grill
a detour from our lives
to sit and eat quietly
the sigh and sustenance needed
at the end of the week
a dinner more for the soul
than the sinews
