Cinnamon and Love

The smell of apple pie always takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen. While flour, apples, sugar and cinnamon were measured, a double portion of love was always added.

white flour on my face
licking my sticky fingers
cinnamon and love

This haibun makes me want to get into a kitchen and make apple pie immediately; I can taste it and smell it! So thanks a bunch.

thanks Gershon, and it is true, I would pull my lawnmower by my bycyle seven miles and cut her grass for some fried apple pies out of her kitchen
