Ghost in the kitchen

Brandon S. Roy

Grains of rice scattered across the floor
you will hear the cracking and watch the tile
on your lip— I finally touch them
they are cold and metallic to the taste
in your eye, a lost look

In the fridge, there lies salvation
an empty baking soda box and mold
crumbs in a styrofoam box, an answer
A broken door is the enemy

 
I know where the ice tray lives
there is a constant tug from the popsicle
