from poetess' personal scrapbook--Mother on Thanksgiving Day 1995
poem written for and submitted to "Bite Size Contest #128," Lin Gauthier, sponsor, November 14, 2025.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ kitchen ghosts linger~ Mom's china chipped at the lip still holds pumpkin spice and the weight of empty chairs... cornbread crumbling in silence
