Coming to the meat
counter
to take our order, moving,
diving into conversation,
the local butcher at Cantell's Market,
remembering his working hands,
wiping them on a towel,
the nub of his thick pencil…
His scrawl on white
butcher block paper,
the details of mom’s order,
his white apron tied in the front,
starched but covered,
with blood, all of the juices,
working quickly, a line behind us
meats wrapped in white butcher block paper ...
