One Basil Leaf - Sept. 23, 2022

this basil leaf

picked and shredded

into the tomato soup

reminds me

the house and table

ladle bowl and napkin

a spoon that pours

an offering through lips

and if the setting

and temperature

the spice and flavor

are just right

we tip the world

a humming smile
