Making Applesauce I have worn your hands all day. Other parts of my body are yours too -- the freckles scattering up my arms, the red the sun shows in my hair -- but it is your hands that do this work I like today. They choose the firmest apples from the bagful I gathered; the fingers approve these hard curves, peel and chop, trusting the knife's edge, arranging creamy chunks of fruit and coils of red skin. I bend my head over the pot, letting the sweet steam swirl into my eyes. The tears come, and while I stand here crying for you in my kitchen, your hands go on stirring, go on dignifying such simple acts. ~Kathy Mangan for her Mom.
