  1. flash of color
    in my breakfast cereal
    frozen blackberries

    cinnamon and cloves
    scent the house with warmth –
    solstice pies

    apples and walnuts
    among the candles-
    solstice prayers

    she gives him the fingerling

    tearing up slicing onions thin skin

    no mushroom soup
    in the green bean casserole
    their silent cursing

    one by one red pies

    pizza pulls
    him down-
    Bermuda Triangle
