   As I walk to the apartment,

the smell carries me in,



the fresh aroma of the soup,

with some carrots,

and most important, the chicken.



Then I spot the fresh noodles,

and think of them drying in the hot sun

of Israel, where she once lived.



Her presence was sacred;

I wish that

she was still here.



My favorite grandma,

up above.



As I think of her every day,

the chicken soup memories arise,

and I feel her near me,

watching with her brown eyes.
