Tell It To The Sourdough

Your bubbles tell us you're alive,
revived,
awakened,
ready to deliver
leavening
for bread.

We'll plump you up with flour and water
and let you rise,
slowly.
For several hours you will grow
big and bulbous.

Then, we'll heat the oven to 500,
and let you bake.
You will rise, tan golden brown
and begin to smell quite
overwhelmingly
delicious.

When you cool,
we will slice you
and you will be our sustenance,
our daily bread.
