While It Rises

Waiting for something specific is different from letting what it needs go out.

At dusk in a farmyard, a grey-haired baker in a linen apron kneels at the open mouth of a domed outdoor bread oven and feeds a split log into the fire. Beside the baker, three cloth-covered round baskets of dough sit on a wooden bench.
