Ode to Grandma's Zwieback

Culture is a peculiar word. 
Holding such importance

In someone’s person 

Celebrated and encouraged 

Songs

Art

Food


Grandma's Zwieback 

Little pockets of answers

Buttery and sweet 

They claim me 


Small pieces I cling to 

with reverence and care


Savoring the feeling of belonging to something somewhere

Hands 

My hands made these

Long ago

In far away lands

Whose blood flows through my veins

Unannounced

Break it apart and add butter and jam


Although they spoke a language foreign to me.
