It was quiet
In the kitchen
All day,
As I prepped for the evening
Just me, the cutting board,
And my knife.
Cutting veggies,
Butchering lamb racks, tuna,
And salmon.
I had done the sauces earlier.
And than the night crew came in.
Rattling off words so fast,
And loud,
There went the peacefulness
The silence
The time to think.
