Diet
Time's broken memories weep
On the day before Thanksgiving's
Pecan pie recipe arrives.


Tender whispers seem to console
The soul while it's sleeping
Off the bloated corpse of yesterday's chicken.


Oreos spring forth a child-like reaction
As if sugar-coating the depths
Of sadness would help at all.


Gluten-free wafers hold out hope
Of restoration inside and out
If it's really not too late.


Apple-picking in fall restores
The spirit and a longing that in winter
That the carefully sorted stores will actually last.
