The scent of freshly baked bread
Is like a dream you don't want to wake from
You'd rather break bread
Than cut it with a knife
Fingers might get burned
But you don't mind
Butter somehow behaves better
It seeps right into the rich texture
Yummy
Teeth knows the drill
Bite like there's no tomorrow
Chew swallow
Feel good
The scent of freshly baked bread
Is like a dream you don't want to wake from

I love the circularity of your poem, Gillena, like a traditional round loaf, beginning and ending with the simile: ‘scent of freshly baked bread… a dream you don't want to wake from’, and I agree about breaking bread rather than cutting it.

The opening lines describe the kind of effect that aroma of bread has on one so well! Gorgeously rendered, Gillena 🩷🩷

I'm with you on that one Gillena - bread is the best (with lashings of butter!)
