Seize the means of fermentation! ⓵⓶⓸ Robespierre receives missives
A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre
the solitary endeavour STOP
of making bread in the middle of the night STOP
on an island STOP which doesn't feel one's own STOP
is occasionally interrupted STOP
by carrier pigeons tapping on the windows STOP bringing news STOP
just today STOP words came from Canada STOP
which might translate in a real life meeting STOP
and bread sharing STOP with someone who found this bulletin STOP
during Robespierre lifetime STOP
other pleasant words were received STOP from other parts of the map we share STOP
places Robespierre never dreamed of reaching STOP
the common denominator is the kindness of those missive-writers STOP
Robespierre rests beside a bottle of red wine STOP
by now he almost touches the middle of the label STOP
a few more hours STOP and he'll be ready STOP
the wine is ready now STOP he protests STOP
may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP
