Seize the means of fermentation! ⓹⓷ Robespierre salutes Bruno
A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre
it is just before midnight STOP
that we approach the granite counter STOP
this is the last loaf made with Bruno, beloved dog STOP
Robespierre is aware of the bad news the vet delivered today STOP
Bruno might not STOP
i will keep our night cigarettes under the silent irish sky STOP
the complicit sharing of porchetta and salame STOP
i will remember your love and the paws you keep giving me STOP
your bopping around in between sniffs of the colorful flowers STOP
your understanding of specific convenient italian words STOP
learned midway in your life STOP
your cheeky expressions of passion for being chased in the garden STOP
buon viaggio hermano querido e buon cammino ovunque tu vada STOP
forse un giorno potremo incontrarci di nuovo lungo la strada STOP
may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP goodbye, my Bruno STOP
