    Excerpt of *Of cake dreams & incomplete birthdays*

    "You - Hoarder of ice cream we had to play Tetris to get out of your 
 second fridge / you - woman of 70, mother of 3, grandmother of 6, 
 Nani to all who ever met you / you - warm chocolate cake on an 
 already warm day. light, but not tea-cake-light. 
 Filling, but not so much you couldn't come back for seconds. 
 or fourths."
