she blew
the cream
back
poured the
milk
from the
big
white
pan
perfectly
into a

weathered plastic bowl
filled with
pioneer biscuit mix
her wrinkled old hands
stirred
around and around and around
emptied
the dough
rolled it
into perfect little balls
flattened into an
aluminum pie pan
placed it
in the oven
the tops and bottoms
golden crusted
on brown crockery plates
around the kitchen bar
green vinyl stools
