An Ode to Stuffed Grape Vine Leaves

Relegated to a feeding tube
Flavourless and bland
My thoughts drift to my mother's food
Made by her Armenian hands
Rice, meat and spices enveloped in green grape vine leaves

Relegated to a feeding tube
Flavourless and bland
My thoughts drift to my mother's food
Made by her Armenian hands
Rice, meat and spices enveloped in green grape vine leaves

0ne pound of hamburger
To be browned.
And sweet Italian sausage
Add another pound.
Dice up an onion.
Grief is …
stopping by the watermelons,
unable to pick one up.
You taught me
to listen for the hollow sound,
to know when it’s ripe.
If you were here
you would be annoyed
that the toothpaste cap is covered in gunk
I know it drove you crazy
but I always thought it was funny
Now it’s oozing everywhere
Monica welcome to the group. I love the images and as I said in group, my husband’s family came here from Lebanon, and I did enjoy the stuffed grape leaves and stuffed cabbage!
