Onions, stems and pieces

 

 

We don’t see them in the ground

as a sprout or seed –

We only find them in the store

away from dirt and weed,

 

We’re not there to watch them grow

in weather not so great –

We see them standing dry and clean

left side – aisle eight,

 

We’ve never cried at harvest time

knowing they must leave –

we simply use our napkin

burp instead of grieve.
