She who masters
a flaky pie crust
is insured a place
in our hearts.
My grandmother’s
pies: pecan, lemon, coconut cream
apple, mincemeat, cherry
are still fresh in my mind,
Her kitchen a haven for all
cup of coffee, hunk of pie
cures what ails you.
Grandmother’s love
filled her pies
and last even today
as I remember
those happy times.
