in heyday
making caramel apples
care-a-mel or car-mel
that waters the mouth
sticks to the teeth
deliciously wrapped
around a rotund apple
sour or sweet
my kids would unwrap
each kraft caramel
drop them into the pan
and wait for them to melt
we’d put the apples on a stick
and dip them into the gooeyness
place them on wax paper to set
of course we might just go
out to a festival and find
the fancy kind
but a kid must at least once
make their own
oh that first bite
the one that sinks the teeth
deep enough to go through the apple skin
and find the snowyness of pulp
that tangoes with
the caramel delight
in the heyday of autumn
with my kids
i could just taste
the way it was back then
