the apple butter festival

nearly ten years ago
she brought me
a jar
of apple butter from
the apple
butter
festival in winchester
virginia.
3rd prize.
i made it myself,
she said.
she wrapped a little
red ribbon
around the small plump
jar
with a note attached.
enjoy, it read.
with love, your new friend,
Emily.
i see it in my cupboard
nearly everyday
and wonder
about who won
first prize, and where she
might be.
