Kelly in the Kitchen

I like the sounds of Kelly in the kitchen
the Kelly songs of the kitchen
that sing when she's in it
singular as an instrument responding to its musician
svelte kelly, a strum of woodstick
in her metal mixing bowl
sweet measuring spoon of melody,
cabinet bass, ingredient beats,
concocting something smooth together.
it's our therapy, her sounds,
the way a shoulder suits napping for the movements it makes
settling into the position of being needed.
