Written for the 'Baker's Boy', it was inspired by the end of Master and
Fool.

Baking

Bringing flour-covered hands to dough,
Allowing the unformed bread to roll beneath my fingers,
Kneading in time to my heartbeat --
Everything in time to my heartbeat --
Running aromas assail my nose;
Sights and smells mingle in perfection.

Beyond the kneading comes the rising.
Overflowing, spilling outward, trying to be in everything --
Yet all in time with my heartbeat.
