“I still use your recipe,
the oven overheating a much too small apartment.
Feel the dread in my stomach
and longing in my jaw as I add each ingredient,
closed eyes, pretending you're making them just for me.
With every bite I taste you,
sickly sweet,
a kiss under the stove light.
My stomach turns,
the kitchen heavy with the lingering scent of what I could've done differently.
I should really find a new recipe,
but I know I will bake cookies again at the bottom
of 3am wine glasses, drunk on the fantasies of when you
almost loved me.”
sometimes, we use our ex lover’s sugar cookie recipe, and sometimes, this nearly destroys us. who could’ve known this was a bad idea?? (I really do need a new sugar cookie recipe…)
a print of my original painting available as a 7”x7” or a 12”x12” print on heavy cardstock!
