Anticipation

[TranquillityBase]

Anticipation
 
Bee-doo, bee-doo
the timer sounds
signaling time            timer....time is too closely repetitive.
from blooming heat    
two sour-dough loaves
newly golden
having reached risen  
potential knowing    little unclear who or what is doing the knowing
the biology
the chemistry
doesn’t lessen
the craving of
mystery
alchemy of mixing
flour, salt, water
again awakening    
the evolution of         Knot's got something on that alchemy vs evolution conflict
one to another.
 
Crusty brown
they are born
skin too thick
with heat 
though already
softening
lean in and listen
to the crackling
the ticking
of the lover’s engine     is this "engine" a person (a lover) or a thing (such as a car engine); a hot car engine (my reading) is a jarring comparison to loaves of fresh bread because of the associated smells of each;  the fact that hot bread makes those sounds is a very interesting element though, so if it could be told another way....
resting after coming
home       
feeling the tingle
as salivary glands begin
their business the body 
readied imagining
teeth tearing scent
of earth and sea
the releasing 
steam still too hot
I wait.

Hi Bryn,

Coming in late here.  Though all you see above are gripes, I do think it well written, especially second stanza.
