Cold Solace, by Anna Belle Kaufman | Objects of my Affections

https://objectsofmyaffections.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/cold-solace-by-anna-belle-kaufman

Objects of my Affections. Objects, Memory and Meaning. Cold Solace, by Anna Belle Kaufman. This poem originally appeared in The Sun Magazine. When my mother died,. One of her honey cakes remained in the freezer. I couldn’t bear to see it vanish,. So it waited, pardoned,. In its ice cave behind the metal trays. For two more years. On my forty-first birthday. I chipped it out,. A rectangular resurrection,. Hefted the dead weight in my palm. Before it thawed,. I sawed, with serrated knife,. July 15, 2012.
