: 5. Love by Debra White



gravy oozes messily
over ill-fitting
slightly burnt crust

like tarnished gold
beauty
is hidden

but we know
its value

and we know
how much love
this offering
represents

mum made pie -
     just because



 

Author Notes
Actions often speak louder than words.

Pie is the ultimate in comfort food - When my mum used to make home made pie, we knew it was because she wanted to lavish us with love. The time and effort put into it is a labour of love.
