warm wishes from home

stainless steel kitchen
my oven is heating
i gathered
jupiter
mars
and
venus
from the planetarium
in my pantry
i want to bite into worlds
add molasses stars
to sweeten the mixture
i whipped the cosmos
into a milky way
in my kitchen aid mixer
rolled a nebula in flour
baked on top of the sun
but i do not include
black holes
moon the creamy center
i think of you
and write a love letter
on parchment papered pans
and hope wherever
you are in the universe
you are warm
drinking bourbon
and have time for
a cigarette
