Therapy
By Stella Mazur Preda
in the kitchen baking cookies
radio playing favourite “oldies”
red-hot emotions and anger
soon dispelled by vigorous mixing
the dull whack and scrape
of the old wooden spoon
dough turns the colour of caramel
like English Toffee at its best
teaspoons click as cookies are shaped
oven door creaks with anticipation
ten minutes and the timer buzzes
m-m-m warm cookies with cold milk
and the radio blasts out “the oldies”
