TWO LOVE POEMS FOR KAREN
TALKING IN BED
I love when you fall into bed that way
What are you thinking
About getting old
Do you want me to read you a poem
Sure
I knew you did

KAREN’S PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
WITH MARASCHINO CHERRIES
She waits twenty minutes
after her cake comes from the oven.
It’s one of those family recipes
where you’re not told
how to do anything
and when she turns it over
onto the aluminum foil
cookie sheet, she says,
Oh, it turned out just like my mother’s.
