“Missing Mom’s Cooking”
Here I crave
my mom’s cooking
on Easter eve
I die longing for
mom’s Doro Wot
mouth burning
spicy hot
And that Injera
flat bread
of primavera
that I enjoy
eating by hand
day after day.
I ask my mom
to send her son
the tasty spell
via cell phone
or aéropostale.

Today, April 15th, is Ethiopian Easter Sunday.
