Blintzes to Savor
written by: Jill Sharon Kimmelman
For Mom
A treat began in mom’s childhood
a gift learned from her mother
As a child, I would marvel at the ease
in which mom expertly flipped those impossibly light crepes
She has made them all her life
filled freezers in an array of flavors
We are the joyful recipients of blintzes simply crowned
with sour cream and snickerdoodle sugar
Mom’s ancient tired hands carry the recipe, like DNA
she could make them blind
We do not speak much in hugs and kudos
with blintzes between us,
nothing can ever stay wrong for long.
