Morning light paints porcelain white
Kettle sings through steel and spout
Dormant film waits patient night
Aperture holds breath without doubt

Herbs on sill drink golden rays
Rosmarinus officinalis
Silent shutter counts the days
Exposure measured, flawless
Quiet shutter clicks in steam
Frames the life in kitchen glow
Time develops like a dream
Latent images grow slow
Condensation beads on glass
Mentha spicata unfolds
Moments pass like vapor mass
Story in the negative holds
[Pre-
Herbs on sill drink golden rays
Rosmarinus officinalis
Silent shutter counts the days
Exposure measured, flawless
Quiet shutter clicks in steam
Frames the life in kitchen glow
Time develops like a dream
Latent images grow slow
Basil leaves turn toward the sun
Ocimum basilicum stance
Shutter waits for morning run
Holding light in silver chance
Quiet shutter clicks in steam
Frames the life in kitchen glow
Time develops like a dream
Latent images grow slow
Water boils then settles quiet
Thymus vulgaris rests
Camera eye stays wide and bright
Capturing the morning's best
Quiet shutter clicks in steam
Frames the life in kitchen glow
Time develops like a dream
Latent images grow slow
Film advances frame by frame
Salvia rosmarinus stands
Kitchen holds no need for fame
Memory develops in hands
Quiet shutter clicks in steam
Frames the life in kitchen glow
Time develops like a dream
Latent images grow slow
Silver halides sleep
Morning light stays deep
