“Country Breakfast” by Davina Warner

Grandmother fries bacon
in a coal black skillet
seasoned from years
of frying chicken
baking cornbread.

Pork fat hisses
against heated iron
spitting grease
onto thin skin
of Grandmother’s hands.

With a fork
Grandmother turns shrinking strips
until chewy for me
burnt for Big Daddy
just right
with egg whites swimming in yellow
cinnamon toast
and milk coffee.

    Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

    A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would
    really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your
    theme. Bless you
