Tomato Sauce I

The tips of my fingers smell like onions

and the ends of my hair,

garlic as I pour myself into this tomato sauce

that’s simmering on the stove

Stirring in the necessary

waiting for the wafts to swirl

herbs meld thick in a brew of

anticipation that means more than just a taste

Tomato sauce love in the fall

Put it all

Put all the ingredients together to create something

that means something more than what you feel

in the fall
