No Matter How Many Times
(from the NaPoWriMo prompt: write a poem about a handmade or homemade gift that you have received.)

When she realized the cancer
was inoperable,
she decided to copy the notes
from her cookbooks
into copies for each one
of her children.
My copy of The Complete
Asian Cookbook by
Charmaine Solomon
is wonderful to have,
but the abrupt scratches of a
quick hand running from death on
page 223—Ayam Goreng Asam/
Piquant Fried Chicken—
is shocking no matter how
many times I make it.
