There Should be a Word

There Should be a Word
By Susan Plett

for the way she stirsImage for There Should Be A Word
pours, measures
the angle of her arm
shadow of her hand
at the stove

for the bend of her body
as she moves
steeped in sureness
to retrieve something fragrant
hearty, from the oven

if there was a word for that
I could paint her as clearly
as God sees her

whatever it is
I want a place
at her kitchen table
