Analysis of Some more cookies
Smell of family
and crumbled cookies
of a Sunday morning
Now no more...
Only trace of burnt wood
from a long spent fire
Stale bread and
an empty bird nest
with a tenant spider...
Rusted door hinges playing with stubborn wind.
I go out to the yearning lawn...
The weeds laugh at me
The old squirrels
Frail and thinhaired
Askance on dried branches
Gaze bleary eyed.
All is quiet.
Except for the faint drum
of a hopeful heart
in a cagey chest.
Jerky montage of greyed memories
play on the blooming
honeysuckle flowers.
Distant smell,
or is it a fragrance?
of the family sweat
that wafts through the night's
body...
nudges me up from my
stupor
and lures me...
To give my little finger
to my hopeful heart
...and work out a smile
for the next day.
When
I may just wake
and bake
Some more cookies.
