The Baker
She kneads dough
from whatever's been
hanging around,
rolls out earth, fire, water, air
to the thickness of an eyelash
until the goop is more
or less uniform.
She's ready to bake cookies.
Today the shape of a circle
is her favorite.
She frames one out,
sprinkles a planet
with mountains,
those green trees.
