I help with scaling, opening, shredding and salting
It's so good, just us alone in the kitchen
from time to time the elbows bump
he says things like "this one was hard"

and makes the gesture with his hand
The silence of when we first met
flows through the kitchen like a deep river
Finally, the fish on the platter
Let's go to sleep. silver things
