over-boiled summer has gasped
                                            autumnal
dust dampened early winter rain
joins muddy hands
                              for baking day

washed to the elbows
                                  more more
                                  use the whole bag
smacked hands 
                                  that's enough
draw flour faces


beneath the cairn of currants
     the scales
with their rust caught weights
     imperially numbered
await solemn jury duty

                                    mrs cotters jam
or mrs laynes dollied lemon curd line up
with homepride
                         echo margarine
cheery
          bero booklet
                  (cherry always optional)

pastry brush bristles smelt of sour milk
