seasoned with love

en español:

mesas de abundancia del desbordar

tecleo de cucharas maderas, crisoles cacerolas

el olor del amor en orégeno

suavemente pero deficílmente manos de abuela

en pasta, en ajo, en mi mente,

siempre trabajia. arte, comida, amor.

uvas frescas de la vid, perás de arbol del abeulo

dulce marchitado olor de jardines en verano

siempre en verano, caliente sol

libere para tener, sostener, sea toda la buena tierra

entre familia, entre amigos, y seguro

en conocimiento de gente, y lazos

que jamas termina.

in English:

tables of overflowing wealth

clank of wooden spoons, pots pans

the smell of love in oregano

soft yet hard hands of grandmother

in dough, in garlic, in my mind

always working. art, food, love.

grapes fresh off the vine, pears from grampa's tree

the sweet withered smell of gardens in summer

free to have, hold, be all of the good earth

among family, among friends, and secure

in knowledge of people, and relationships

that never end.
