  Cleaning Up After
  Thanksgiving’s Feast Memories
  Floating in the Air
  
  Brushing Crumbs Off the
  Counter Into My Cupped Hand
  Just Like My Mom Did
  
  My Hand a Shadow
  Of Hers, Lit By Her Joy in
  Feeding Her Loved Ones
  
  Radiating Across
  The Years, Undimmed, to Warm Me
  Despite Time’s Cool Gaze

  Over the Last Ridge
  And Into the Valley I’ve
  Come to Know as Home

  I know All the Ways
  The Light Falls, Where the Creeks Run,
  When the Breezes Rise

  Come Now, Walk With Me
  The Few Steps to My Front Door
  To Be Welcomed In

  Dough From My Own Hands
  Fresh Baked, Sliced and Buttered Tastes
  of Generations
  
  First My Mother’s Bread
  Baked Each Friday, Fragrance Fills
  The House After School
  
  And My Father’s Rolls,
  Cinnamon and Butter and
  Dough, Fried and Frosted
  
  And, Like a Story,
  Grandma’s Cookies, Soft, Sweet and
  Rationed, Sneak Cookies
  
  So My Bread Tastes of
  Generations, Leavened With
  Love and Memory

  And Long Memory

  There’s Venus Rising
  Above Our Neighbor’s Roofline

  And Me, Driving East, Dreaming
  Of Home and Day’s End
