Weekend Breakfast

I have taken in the light
that quickened eye and leaf.
May my brain be bright with praise
of what I eat, in the brief blaze
of motion and of thought.
May I be worthy of my meat pancakes.

To be fair, after a short walk in some very cold temperatures (wind chill a solid -10 F ), the evening meal was beef chili.
