At the Tip of a Paring Knife


A high pitched crunch twisted time and place
The tiny sound slid time back to the kitchen of my childhood
Mom peeled brown skinned potatoes, twisted out the little eye
A memory at the tip of a paring knife


“Memory was supposed to fill time, but it made time a hole to be filled.”
~ Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated
