My Love in the Kitchen
written by Edward A. Storm
The girl is beautiful with her straight hair so dark and long,
Her tanned skin and the pen in hand on paper.
She sits at the kitchen table with the grey light of early morning
Falling on her very weakly but enough that no electric light is on
She is always so serious when she works on the paper
With her thin and long neck
Holding up her cheeks thin nose and dark almond eyes.
She doesn’t see me yet and the world is hers for the moment.
I will come in and with almost no effort flick the light switch
With my finger and everything will be changed.
I think I will wait awhile here so I can not ever forget,
How lucky I am to be a man
Who has a girl like this in the kitchen.
