Saturday

I woke up with no rush
and had a nice breakfast
with my boyfriend.
Kefir
with oats and walnuts
and dark chocolate.
I love taking my time
sipping my hot coffee,
it’s the smell that gets me,
not the caffeine.
The sun was shining,
we had a little walk
and then had ravioli for lunch.
We added cherry tomatoes
of many hues:
red, yellow, green,
orange and purple.
He cut them all in half
and I felt a sudden urge
to arrange them on a plate
in a multicoloured wheel
with mozzarella in the centre,
shaped like a milky flower.
The dish was finally blessed
with a twirl of olive oil,
pepper and oregano.
It was so simple
but it felt so good.
Then I had jasmine green tea.
I felt at peace.
