In Memory Of—abuela’s Cocina Poem by Catherine Inscore

In memory of—
Tortillas hot with melted butter
Making tamales in an assemble line…
Dripping chili through your fingers
as you bite a fully packed drenched burrito
abuela’s cocina

Chocolate’ e pan de huevo
On those special occations…
Menudo hot and spicy
Just a tuch of lime for zip!
Quiet moments, alone
abuela’s cocina

Immigrants, who came
To give life to generations…
Such love, devotion, Faith in God
They taught me—
He is the ultimate reason I was in…
