Cookie-woman
alluring manicured roundness
chocolate and raisin studded,
the cookie was once
a shapeless mass,
a function of
the oven’s volcanic fury
of the master baker’s
no-mercy sweeping gestures
woman,born, reborn
and born again
all in one birth
a function of man’s desire
seeking sense in
sometimes-loved
othertimes-ignored gestures
shaped, chiseled,
to suit her master,
is the manicured cookie
relished bite by bite until
dreams defeated,
she is a shapeless mass once more.
