How many fruits have filled this bowl?
How many tomatoes? How many apples
Were peeled into it's curves?
Golden honey-scented pears?
How many green beans were served
With new potatoes? Sliced sugary peaches?
Ears of yellow corn? Savory vegetable soup?
How many slices of cantaloupe? Blackberries?
I wonder whose bowl it was before it was mine?
Did she use it to mix a cake
Batter for her son's seventh birthday?
Did she love it like I do?
