chopping onion
smashing cloves
of garlic
for dicing
water
as salty
as the sea
meatballs float
in the sauce
the noodles
bob
in the bubbling pot
a quarter cup
of the starchy
salty water
to help thicken
the sauce
before being mixed
thick slices
of buttery
garlic spread bread
toast gently
in the oven
the house alive
with scents
as rumbling bellies
