Spaghetti

Written by Cedar Jeffers

The smell wafts in the air

Bubbles on the stove 

Spoons clatter and pots hiss

Cans crack, sauce splatters

Salt dissolves in the water

Plates spin, forks click

Basil flavors the world 

Garlic and red pepper flakes 

Water rolls

Noodles soften

Gas burners click 

Spaghetti is plated
