sweet dough baking

treats fall like

sweat rounded in

droplets onto

the cookie-sheet

in afternoon

when light is

strong and

my legs are spent

twenty minutes

pass between

chores, peeks

into my old oven

for that perfect

middle softness

hard crispy edge

like me, these

carob cookies are

delicate and

fragile, 

I shift from 

pan to rack

cooling their 

bottoms and 

burning my

fingers tongue

excited for

a taste
