recipe for returning to the home town

take a loaf of risen bread
turn back your watch
remove the yeast
allow a speck of window light to touch the bread
leave the house at once
become involved in washing every verb you've spoken over the last two sounds
bereave the recent past
interest your friends in echoing your sentiments
return the act of feeding in the house
request a miracle
pray if you are accustomed to prayer
accomplish what you had hoped
erase what you have known
unveil the as yet unknown
