the heidelberg bakery

you take a number at the door
of the German bakery.
the line is long,
the air is warm.
people are holding lists 
of what breads to buy. 
whole wheat and white,
sourdough or seeded rye.
what dinner rolls
and sweets to take home.
the glassed cases are aglow
with precious wedding cakes 
iced in yellows and white,
rounded and tiered.
tiffany blue squares.
so much to choose from.
each bite a memory
holding so many years.
