Feta cheese, black olives, red Spanish onions,
yellow tomatoes, curly-leaved lettuce
-- A Greek salad,
a basket of freshly baked bread.
A bowl of cold cucumber soup,
with chervil and dill arrayed on its surface.
Green glass bowls, antique silver soup spoons,
and white linen napkins.
Dorothy's words:
"Everyone spoke softly. No one ever raised their voice,
in the house where I grew up."
