a recipe for life
Mar 1, 2023
my sister born first died
first meant she received
my mother’s vintage
cookbook that I craved
and she lost over time
my eyes lost the glaucoma
of youth preventing me
from seeing that the giving
of the book not the book
itself was the gift she most
needed though it did not
contain a recipe for feeling
fully accepted in this life
