peach cobbler centerfold

i stare longingly at a picture
of peach cobbler
in the gourmet cooking magazine.
it's been air brushed.
it's perfect. the thick crust. 
the peaches
curved on the white plate.
i hold it up to the light.
i turn it sideways.
i smooth out the two pages
that it spreads out on.
i sigh and breathe.
peach cobbler, i whisper
to myself,
as i turn off the light
and try to sleep.
