her reputation
her legacy
on corn bread.
just that.
buttery and sweet,
it crumbled gently
off your lips.
you could hardly wait
to take the next warm bite.
a secret recipe passed
down from
one grandmother
to the next.
it's what she brought
to every holiday gathering.
every birthday,
every celebration
and to everyone's
joy, she baked
a tray
just it time for her
own funeral.
