would
buy the hard candy
for Christmas and set it out
in small
dishes.
mint green, ribbon red,
yellows
and pinks.
you needed a pair of pliers
to get a piece
loose from the plate,
the colors and
stripes
all melded together because
she kept the heat
up so high in the house.
the botanical gardens
had nothing on her.
i think after awhile,
she just put the dishes
of candy away,
all melted and lumped
together
at the end of the season,
and set them out
again
next December.
