An Old Memory

Small circular round
Ebony brown tint,
Slashes weaving around it
Like snakes writhing on a tree
Velvety, smooth
An elephant’s tusks

A little ring of memories
Brings back nostalgic times
A different time and place,
Sizzling, softly
Grandma cooking on the stove

Cherished memories like exotic treasures
Scattered
Old times young and free
A different time, a different place
A different person.
