| Whole wheat bread and plum jelly
on the square plate I got at Cost Plus.
I made the bread,
half an hour of time, flour, yeast,
salt, oil, and water.
Some people don’t add oil
but it makes a better loaf.
The plums came from the plum tree
at Betty and Bob’s place.
Steam extracted and jelled to bright pink,
nearly opaque.
Tart on the tongue with a sweet finish,
full of summer and wind.
