Cornbread

 maybe we will remember one day far from all this

how we lived on golden cornbread crumbs in a manner of speaking

and oh how you multiplied them without our even asking

so that each crumb became a loaf. each loaf an entire bakery.

who are you Lord God that from such small quantities can make a feast

so that all weeping turns overnight to flowers

so that we gather in an explicable harvest

a plenitude of stars.
