BFA THESIS SHOW: A LABOR OF LOVE

A Labor of Love

Here is a table, set for a family. 

Some are related by blood, others were invited in. 

Some, regrettably, have been asked to leave. 

Here is a meal, made tenderly

While crisscrossing our bodies

And reaching, asking, for more. 

Here are the people, my people.

They have two things in common;

We ate together, and I chose each one.

Fast food parking lots.

Stools and counter tops.

A couch in the basement.

Self-serve trays in the loft. 

Breakfast for dinner.

Tea and coffee on the porch.

Midnight snacks.

Playing house. 

Here is the family, worthy and hungry.

And I feed them

Because they chose me.
