Sean Rima: A Poem A Day #3.

 

Caldo.

On the worst day ever,
all you need is a big ol’ pot
filled with boiled chicken,
minced garlic, chopped
onion, sliced squash,
red peppers, carrots,
celery, potatoes,
corn,

a fistful of cilantro,
a stack of warm tortillas,
some shredded cheese,

and all the folks

who love you, standing in

line by the stove with

empty bowls.
