cinnamon toasted
cherry jam and ghee
memory's comfort food
reminisce-story
coffee perfumed homes
warm me to my core
Uncle Bloke and Aunt Ann
with always open door
grama's dining room
only for company
I was not a guest
I was family
'round kitchen table
solved life's mysteries
ate like a king or
better than majesties
at her plenty-scented
refectory dine we
on mushroom pork chops
with onion gravy
je ne sais quoi whiff
with notes of Big Lake
so profoundly real
little self doth ache
pine spice and hemlock
water with sand sun-bake
takes me right back to
their home on the lake
Sunday was for walks
in woodland with gramp
limber lost we two
in our lake dune tramp
benevolent flavors
from my evergreen queen
peanut butter kisses
berries wintergreen
found in a dune trough
mystical mist fog
signature oak scents
of bicycle shaped log
tramping back home with
many a dune tale
grama on the porch
the dog wags his tail
braunschweiger toast and
sweet gherkins for tea
coffee for elders
a glass of milk for me
old memories clearer
than yesterday I see
those two dear people
always wait for me
