Holiday Cookies

Holiday Cookies

A Poem by kera moondust
"

Just something I whiped up a couple of days ago.

"
She wears an apron with a subtle
Euphemism in words on the front
With bouncy red hair and eyes that's colors change
With the daylight
Moonlight
And night life

I've never felt the kitchen so warm

There is something really sweet
About the scent of cookies
Sugar
Peanut butter
Chocolate chip
Candy cane cookies

We used to bake like this every year
I was Mrs. Clauses best little helper
I was an elf

At least in spirit

I haven't baked with her in 4 years
4 Christmas's
And hard times

My ribcage was crunched by snow
And my body encased in ice
My very existence cooled down the color of
My eyes
In past seasons

My heart was punctured
Warm thick blood masking my body
Picture perfect corpses
Entrenched in my finger tips

I've never felt so much hate
In past seasons

Not this year
My mom's baking again
I'll be her favorite elf
And there will be no cold fingers
No cooling rib caged crunches
Or heart break, a beating knock on my door

I missed the scent of cookies
