find flour
and vanilla, brown sugar
and white,
salt and pepper.
there's butter and eggs
in the ice box.
there's a bag of dark
chocolate chips.
a bag of walnuts.
there's the mixer from
under the counter.
there's the spoon and spatula.
there's the recipe
spread out.
there's all the time in the world.
to
make a dozen or more.
the oven goes on.
the clock set.
each bite a warm memory
of what was
and still is.
