Butternut Squash Creature

Bright yellow peelings from a ripe butternut squash
fall in wild patterns on the cutting board's deep red.
With a little re-arranging, a sea creature appears,
swimming above a bed of onions,
and I escape work's petty tyranny.
Whatever the task at hand,
remind us, Lord, to play.
