Applesauce Cake
Once again autumn’s jubilee of gold and umber leaves
Drifts on a lazy Sunday morning rain
Past kitchen windows
Where scents of coffee and frying bacon
Walk hand in hand
Then race each other up the stairs
To look for dreamers missed by the dawn
While aunts and uncles,
Cousins, sisters, brothers,
Fathers, mothers
Squeeze side by side into the breakfast nook,
Touched by the shadow of Annette’s camellia tree
Leaves tousled by the hand of autumn,
To breakfast over fall chrysanthemums
When Grammie clears her throat,
Midst suspended coffee cups,
Declaring:
“This year I don’t think I’ll bake applesauce cake
For Thanksgiving.”
Gentle rains thunder in the silence
Before stunned voices jump to life again
Envisioning a holiday without
Her crunchy pickles,
New made jellies,
Opened for the harvest festival,
Completed by the allspiced cake
Studded with plump summer raisins
And toasted nuts;
“All right.” she smiling says,
Looking deep into her coffee cup,
A gypsy searching for the future,
“If you really want applesauce cake….”
One voice resounds:
“We really want applesauce cake!”
Outside the passing wind
Pats down the season’s
Ruffled hair
While serenity settles back
Into her place at breakfast
Once again.

OF DRIED AND TIRED SEEDS
Having failed
To turn
Our vineyard
Into a graveyard
Of raisins in sun,
They now
Seek to pluck away,
Ripe black plums
To grave the soil
With wrinkled,
Laden prunes:-
(Guess
they
failed
the
watermeleon
lesson):
Earthly green;
Blood-red flesh;
Multiple black seeds:-
Indeed, we are
Children of
The Father
Of the sun
And the Son:
Fertilized
And energized
By the
Cosmic spirit–
Resurrecting
Generations
Of dried
And tried seeds–
Germinating
Liberated
Blooming
Freedom flowers
In the sun:
Bouqueting
Thanks
To the
Son:-
The winter of our discontent is over,
the Merciful God of the oppressed
has seen to the de-icing of our hued souls;
and the blossoming essence of our liberation.
The grapes of spring are plentiful
and the heat of the sun is upon them
but they must not be allowed to become
like raisins wrinkled in the winds of time.
Hued grapes of wrath they are;
plump and ripe; their juices ready
for the fermenting of sweet freedom
of man-child children in the promised land.
Today the purpose of our purple color
comes full circle as new vines rise
with their eyes watching God—singing
songs of Solomon with spring rain voices:-
Today’s spring harvest will yield new seeds
germinating fruits—infused and immune
to fungal white-washing and viral deceit.
It's spring time and lush ripe Lenten grapes
wait to be as fine wine in the season
of new life—discerning and understanding
the thirst of the historical season they are in.
Yes, those that are young may grow weak,
but the Elders are the tilted Nile Crescent soils
to nourish them to purpose—that…“ they will rise
on wings like eagles…run and not get weary…
[that]...they...[may]...walk and not grow weak.”
Oh, the Elders have climbed the watchtower
of the struggle, and have seen the lightning
and heard the thundering echoes—giving
answers to their weathering complaints.
Today’s spring harvest is indeed plentiful;
and we few reapers must get to reaping
What is to come will no longer seem slow,
but will surely come and be true in due season.
Indeed the resurrection of us and whose we are,
will certainly take place and it will not be delayed.
Sage village reapers, let us be mindful,
trustful, and true to our testament of hope:
“To have faith is to be sure of things we hope for,
to be certain of the things we cannot see...”;
faith brings the harvest, and the reapers
must surly rejoice and be glad in it all:-
Oh! Lord I am a garden
A little rose at the plain of Sharon
I am humble
Lilly's growing in the garden
Oh! Lord I am a garden
A little rose at the plain of Sharon
Like the lily's growing amongst the thorns
So you are, so you are
Like an apple tree amongst the groups of wood
So you are, so you are
Lilly's growing in the garden
Oh! Lord I am a garden
A little rose at the plain of Sharon
Under His shadow under God's light
Delight is sitting over HIs might
And His words are not missed,
For is His presents I am truly, truly blessed
So you are, so you are my redeemer, so you are
You're my friend you are both
Christ the Holy and God and man
So you are, so you are
I can feel His left hand under my head
As His right hand comforts me at all ends
Sustains me with raisins, apples, refresh me for I am in love
Straight from the night turned to morning your my ever turtle dove
Oh! Lord I am a garden
A little rose at the plain of Sharon
I am humble
Lilly's growing in the garden
Oh! Lord I am a garden
A little rose at the plain of Sharon

Amorous is the tingling touch they feel
Blooming kisses as flaming as red bells
Convey passion in their glowing eyes
Directing fantasy-filled thoughts outside
Enamored by the heavy snowfall on the elms
Farther they vanish into the hushed hills of night
Gorgeous and calm is the scenery of pure white
Dashing sleights plunge downhill as screams rise
Ensuing the feeling of glee in the northern sphere
Gorging on almond cookies is heavenly delight
Hot chestnuts steaming on logs are tempting
Increasing their aroma in rooms and nostrils
Jugs with hot chocolate take away all shivers
Kettle whistles for grandma's black tea
Leaner than anyone she'll be a centenarian
Mother prepares a lavish tray of appetizers
Neapolitan superb cuisine in every delicious bite
Overjoyed by the compliments she has received
Pours Asti Spumante* in thin and tall glasses
Quetzal in cage watches and chirps for some
Raging is the fluttering of wings being ignored
Sinking in somber mood he becomes somnolent
Time for a caffe macchiato with Panettone*
Ultimatum for those dozing off on the sofa
Vibrant is the response invigorating their thrill
While outside lampposts give off their gleam
Xenophobe of a massive storm seems insidious
Year is ending in a festive house that loves Christmas
Zealous faces look up and ask Jesus for His blessing
* Asti Spumante is an Italian white sparkling wine.
* Panettone is an Italian sweet bread
with candied fruit and raisins.

I never have enough apples.
Apple pie, which I will only eat
alamode.
Apples, to keep the dentist at bay;
apples, to keep a nagging teacher away.
Apples, cored and filled with peanut butter
and raisins,
finds balance somewhere between a raindrop
and the symmetry of snowflakes,
where balance cannot be found.
Like old age and youth
the man in the mirror always wins.
No matter how long it takes
to see him, he's always there.
Old ladies lose muscular tone
and daily search to balance sag and arrest,
another dirty smudge where balance
cannot be found.
I take pride in the old woman's knobby fingers,
I 've earned every lump you see.
It brings me joy to look at them...
I have my grandmother's hands..
and that balances everything.
