seven layers of cookies

i finally open up the tin
of cookies
my father
sent last Christmas.
a round red
hat box of
seven layers
of factory made cookies
in little paper cups.
all stale and as hard
as rocks. they turn
into sand as
they crumble on your
lips with the first bite.
but i'll tell him, they
were great.
not wanting to miss
this years box.
