Your raw words: butter,

Flour, eggs, salt, yeast, water

 

Into the oven

Sacrificing small lives for art at 400O

In the heat, butter creates air

Texture is born

A pastry of a poem

Good morning moon

These mysterious and good-smelling (but can I trust it??) poems are tasty to read.  Associate for me with Hanzel and Gretel.  This baking is coming at some cost?  Coming to morning is an attainment?

I'm imagining the time it takes to make home-made croissants.  Quite an investment in time.  The sacrifice of all other things one might be doing, all other sorts of living.  Croissants, like poetry, seem to require a single minded devotion.  Or do they?  Is this poem, possibly about the cross over between croissants and poems?  Transliterature?

I have to ask, did reading these poems make you crave a croissant?
