Mom at 90

stands at counter in large industrial kitchen
(how many hours of this over the years?)
elbow leaning
on formica surface
cradles large bowl of
sliced potatoes
eggs
cream dressing
mixing with wooden spoon 

half-smiles at camera
one hand leaning
on flower-filled table
green blouse and dark necklace
setting off weathered face
and kind eyes
beauty shining through 

sun through window
haloes white hair and face in profile
turned smiling
resting in the admiring love
of her gathered worlds
