Easy Fun
We started by making a fire
to sunset the night air,
got the charcoal started
and warmed the steaks
to room temperature.
Donna sliced a tomato
from her neighbor's garden
and I contributed a salad
with all ingredients
from the farm stand.
I baked sweet potatoes;
she baked red bliss potatoes.
We shared everything
on the red-ginghamed
picnic tables. Laughter
floated in the dark silk
like embers. Later,
while the men talked
around the fire, Donna and I
played Banagrams with her
teenage son and his friend,
tiles clicking around the table,
words growing, bridging generations,
keeping night at bay.
