With Painted Words

Earth Pie

by Harmony Hodges

Ingredients:

 

1 cup cerulean sky

¼ cup starchy white sand

½ cup mermaid flavored water

(add just a pinch of starfish)

 

Place all ingredients in a fish bowl

Sing “Rock-A-Bye-Baby”

Shift the bowl one way, then the other

 

Let it settle

Cook it during a maximum solar flare

 

Then wait

 

When you see iridescent balls of life

Bubbling toward the sky

Exaltation on their minds

 

You’ll know your pie is done
