Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
It’s the lemons, puckering-ly sour, gleamingly fragrant, all chalked full of detoxifying acid, and so many seeds, sorted out.
The poppy’s siren painted hillside’s are rumored to be returning, following, or with thanks to, the the former season’s washouts, downpours, floods. Little tokens of remembrance. Imagine all the flower hearts that once burst and shed like confetti that have waited patiently for this moment in time, now. Imagine all the former seasons, yet waiting, we’ve still to see and thank.
There will yet be morning’s we begin with these sunny little muffins. Yet be mornings we begin with hope.
