Buns for Tea
When I buy a bun
I buy a shadowed world,
Lit by sunlight,
Dark with shadowed sunlight.
Wavering corn I buy,
Bushes of bright currants,
Tall cane and spices,
Butter from bright fields.
I see the gathering
Gold corn and purple berries,
Dark spices, syrup crystals,
Cream in the pan.
Dark holds of ships,
Seething souls of toilers,
Darkness of the town night
Around the bakery.
Beetles, and the soft
Death-dealing
Dust of fine flour,
Stealthily streaming
Into the life-breath
Of the baker.
When I buy a bun
I buy a world, sun-shadowed.
– Dorothy Richardson (1924)
